can search the internet for precompiled binutils for linux-to-wince.
If they don´t exist you will need to compile your own binutils.

I'll do a search or research the idea of compiling it myself. Should
be fun!  :-0


* You can transfer the application to the PDA using ActiveSync. I
don´t think you can use ActiveSync on Linux (because it´s a .exe
created by microsoft =)  )

My PDA has software that makes it look like a external USB drive. That
is normally how I copy files from Linux or Windows to my PDA. This is
not a problem.


* Another way to use the cross-compiler it to test the application on
the emulator, but...... microsoft created the emulator =) So it only
runs on Windows.

The data on my PDA is regularly backed up, so testing directly on my
PDA instead of a emulator should be ok. I think! :)

Basically it´s possible, but it will be a lot of work, and the end
result may not be good.

Otherwise I guess I could always do what I do with fpGUI and my other
cross platform projects. Develop under Linux, start up VMWare with
Win2000 which can see the same code directory as used under Linux.
Compile under the Win2000 session to test. Then for WinCE, I can just
copy the executable to my PDA.  This actually sounds easier I think.

Thanks for the info.
