- =head1 Name
-
- Perl for WinCE
-
- =head1 Description
-
- This file gives the instructions for building Perl5.6 and above for
- WinCE. Please read and understand the terms under which this
- software is distributed.
-
- =head1 Build
-
- This section describes the steps to be performed to build PerlCE.
-
- =head2 Tools & SDK
-
- For compiling, you need Microsoft Embedded Visual Tools, my
- celib-sources, my console-sources and a perl for win32.
-
- Needed source files can be downloaded via:
- www.rainer-keuchel.de/wince/dirlist.html
-
- Some portions of the makefile need a shell for win32, rm, cp, mv,
- xmkdir (mkdir with a -p option). It also uses my cecopy program for
- copying files to the ce device.
-
- =head2 Make
-
- Miniperl is not built. A pre-existent win32 perl is used.
-
- The paths for tools and additional libraries have to be changed in
- wince/makefile.ce.
-
- Different ce targets can be specified with the TARGET macro.
-
- Before you start, you need to build celib.dll and w32console.
- See instructions in these packages for building.
-
- In the wince directory, type "nmake -f makefile.ce". This should
- build perl.exe and perl.dll. For building extension dlls,
- type "nmake -f makefile.ce dlls"
-
- When building ext dlls, you get lots of macro redefinition
- errors. Just ignore them.
-
- For further information, look in the text files in the wince
- sub-directory.
-
- =head1 Acknowledgements
-
- The port for Win32 was used as a reference.
