Building with either Cygwin or linux should make (almost) no difference as we're building a cross-compiler. > Are there any other ways to get the gcj running under WinCE? Someone has to go try it - I never did. Voxware was based on gcc-3.x, while we are based on 4.1. A lot has been changing in gcj land, but I don't really keep track of it. The implementations could be completely different, or not. I think in gcc trunk there is a complete gcj rewrite. From what I read on the gcc development lists, it takes a machine with more than 512MB to build (link) gcj's runtime, which I don't have, but that is on trunk, not sure with 4.1, which we are currently based on. I guess with cegcc would be easier to make it work, since you can take a look at what was done on the Voxware's toolchain. Craig at the time had some problems with generating dlls, which are fixed now, so he sticked with a static libgcj.a (is that the lib's name?). Best would be to have it working with mingw32ce. gcj works with MinGW, so porting it to mingw32ce should be feasible.
