Hello,
Thanks for the positive answer... some clarifications: 1. windows ce and windows mobile are more or less the same what concerns the API. Windows ce is more history, windows mobile is running on pda's and several mobile phones. ... You should keep a try... you world in pocket with vim .) (http://www.pdashop.nl for people in Nederlands :) ) 2. The CeGCC (http://cegcc.sourceforge.net) project implements a cross compiler for Windows CE. You can develop on linux, and create apps that run on a PDA or a WinCE cell phone 3. therefore the configure will run on linux or other platform where cegcc is built 4. I am not very good in configure (autoconf family) macros, what is needed that configure tests for windows ce platform for gui instead of checking for ncurses/terminal libs, when run with target host cegcc. I will do some more tests and fixes, and then will prepare a decent diff, however the question is are you ready to include the os_mswin.c family files in the linux distro? P.S. I have just found now the answer of Markus Heidelberg, to my prev. email ( http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg06855.html), thanks Markus! regards mobiphil http://mobiphil.com On Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 6:36 PM, Bram Moolenaar <[email protected]> wrote: > > Mobi Phil wrote: > > > I successfully built vim72 on windows mobile, and would be happy if I > would > > be able to propagate my changes upstream.
