[perlce-user] RE: Perl on WinCE

[Konovalov, V. <vko...@sp...>]

good

Microsoft embedded VC++ in its default path I saw that

.

actually I intended to try compilers newer than 3.0 but did not managed this
yet.
Actually this could be the source of a problem.
But in "ideal" case all should work.

^> 3. What will be the path for CEPATH ? ( the document says "path to
embedded tools" ; Is it  "C:\Windows CE Tools\eVC4\Htmlhelp\emtools" ?)

I can't clarify this, but did you tried just running existing binaries from
"perlce" SF site? Just for probe, (not as the only way of getting binaries
of course :)



^> To compile the perl for win CE the I copied the compile.bat file to the

Please give me full error log, not only last few lines.
Also, did you used your "wce.bat".
Actually EVC contains some ".bat" files after it is installed. Did you used
them? Which one? Actually I probably will be able say more about building
your configuration and even could try it if you'll find out which one of
those should be used by your configuration...
