I'm porting the Enlightenment fundation libraries to Windows CE with cegcc, and they are working really nicely. I've already ported them to mingw and they work. So I guess that there will not a lot of problems to use only mingw32ce. I have written a minimalist library that adds the missing functions i need for that project (a kind of very very small cygwin, minimalist because it only implements the functions that I need and i don't want to add more) Currently, I see only 2 problems: errno: when porting the unix libraries, it's a problem to not have errno support. But when writing the zlib package, i've looke a bit at the code and i've seen that they did a big fat hack to solve the problem of errno not being available on some platform. So maybe it would be nice to see if there could be such generic hack that people can add in their project. Such hack should be then described in the wiki. problem with ld: as mentioned in a mail that i have sent yesterday, there is a strange problem with mingw32ce linker. >> btw, wouldn't it be better to include windows ce code into newlib main >> tree, instead of having a kind of fork in the cegcc branch ? > > Actually this may be the answer to the above. We should be more active > in getting our port incorporated in these projects. I really think that it is the good solution.
