Hello,

I was hoping to see how the LCL WinCE was progressing as I have not been able to
look at it for six months or so. I use Lazarus for Windows from SVN routinely
but I have always found building the WinCE cross-compiler and library much
harder. So that I don't disturb my normal working environment I decided to
install a test setup in a VirtualBox from snapshots so I downloaded and
installed today's Lazarus snapshots for FPC 2.2.3:

Lazarus-0.9.27-17734-fpc-2.2.3-20081209-win32.exe
Lazarus-0.9.27-17734-fpc-2.2.3-20081209-cross-arm-wince-win32.exe

A new Win32/i386 application compiles and runs without issue. However when I
change the compiler settings to:

LCL Widget Type - wince (beta)
Target OS - WinCE
Target CPU family - arm

I get the following error message and compilation fails when I try to build a
new project:

"The system.ppu was not found in the FPC directories. Make sure fpc is installed
correctly and the fpc.cfg points to the right directory."

There is a wince-arm system.ppu on my setup at:

C:\Lazarus\fpc\2.2.3\units\arm-wince\rtl\system.ppu

And the only fpc.cfg is the vanilla one installed from the snapshot at:

C:\Lazarus\fpc\2.2.3\bin\i386-win32\fpc.cfg

I don't know how to proceed from here? Is WinCE 2.2.3 known to be broken at the
moment? I did try with the 2.3.1 snapshots last week and I couldn't get those
to work either.

Kind regards,

Paul Michell
