[perlce-user] need help for Perl on WIN CE 4.2

[rijudc <ri...@in...>]

Sir,
I'm trying to install perl on WinCE .Net 4.2  ;
My hardware setup consists of an Intel Celeron Processor, an i830M4
 chipset Intel motherboard, targeted at Notebook devices. This is acting as my Windows CE
device while I am using a WinXP machine with Microsoft Platform Builder 4.2 to build the
 WinCE .Net 4.2 and deploy it on the above device.
The platform is configued as X86 CEPC  one.

I tried the following approach as per steps given in http://perlce.sourceforge.net .

First I configured that compile.bat file. Here I have following queries : - 
1.Does  INSTALL_ROOT  ( refer to  compile.bat ) mean the path on the CE device where the perl will be installed ?
With that assumption we tried " \windows\perl58 " . 
2. I'm using  Microsoft Embedded Visual C++4.0  After installing the Microsoft embedded VC++ in its default path I saw that 
Microsoft embedded Visual C++ 4.0 is installed in "C:\Windows CE Tools"  .
Will the WCEROOT path ? I tried "C:\Windows CE Tools" 
3. What will be the path for CEPATH ? ( the document says "path to embedded tools" ; Is it  "C:\Windows CE Tools\eVC4\Htmlhelp\emtools" ?)
4. What will be the MACHINE in our case ?
I found the following as the closest match. (because in our case it is WinCE 4.2 , X86 CEPC, there was no perfect match in list )
"set ARG-10=MACHINE=wince-x86em-pocket-wce300"


To compile the perl for win CE the I copied the compile.bat file to the folder 
C:\Program Files\Microsoft eMbedded C++ 4.0\Common\EVC\Bin and typed 
"compile.bat dist "  from the command prompt . 
After running for some time it gave the following error during running and got aborted.
"NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft eMbedded C++ 4.0\Common\
EVC\Bin\NMAKE.EXE"' : return code '0x2'
Stop. "

can you pls point out where I'm going wrong and  help me on how to proceed .
Regards,
Riju
