Actually compiler fails to load not "c1.exe" but probably "c1.dll" which
*is* in your path.
However, I still think this is likely to be a configuration problem.

You MUST setup environment variables properly before compiling for
WindowsCE. This is why MS provides special files like "WCEx86.BAT". Please
search for it. Do you use it? Please beleive it is essential.

Personally, I have a couple of tricks that ease setting up environment in my
machine. I can share them with you afterwards.

Besides, when you'll succeed it would be a good idea to share your
experience and may be binaries with entire "perlce" project
:)

Best regards,
Vadim.

Subject: RE: Perl on WinCE

Hi , 
I have achieved some progress for implementing perl on Win CE 4.20. 
After specifying the correct paths (for Win CE library )in WCEROOT and
CEPATH 
in compile.bat and Makefile.ce  I'm now stuck at this problem : -   
During compilation of first c file  av.c cl.exe gives this error   
" Command line error D2027 : cannot execute 'c1'  " while running the
compile.bat . 
But there is no c1.exe file ;  I have the cl.exe file in  proper path . 

Here is the output log : 
" Windows CE Version (Release) (Built on Jun  7 2002 17:04:51)

I tried this to run the same from dos prompt also but it also gave the same

good

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

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 :)

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...

Best regards,
Vadim.
