Okay, in general I would suggest you first try to compile for Pocket PC 2003
first, since that seems to be the most widely supported one. Once you have
that working, I'd change to compiling for x86. Now, for compiling, I
basically followed the instructions included:
- install Python 2.5
- open a terminal window and CD to PCBuild/WinCE
- run 'scons.bat'
As far as switching to x86 is concerned, there are several places to adjust:
1. msevc.py
- replace /machine:ARM with /machine:x86
- replace clarm with cl or clarm.exe with cl.exe
- replace in CPPDEFINES "ARM _ARM_ ARMV4I" with "x86 _x86_"
2. SConstruct
- replace 'POCKET PC 2003' with your SDK's name (see path under
ProgramFiles/Windows CE Tools/...)
- replace 'WCE ARMV4I' with 'WCE x86'
- replace 'PPC_2003' with something else (ATM, I have simply skipped the
whole CAB-file generation).

I typically post updates to the mailinglist of such projects, so stay in touch
with python-dev or pythonce. That's also why I put the PythonCE mailinglist
in the CC, keep any discussions there to get a wider audience.
