Updates for building on Windows CE using mingw32ce cross compiler: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name 0703291652.38437.jwalt%40garni.ch&forum_name=cegcc-devel Hi! I just managed to compile SDL for Windows CE using the "mingw32ce" configuration of http://cegcc.sourceforge.net. Test programs work as expected (except for those using signals -- no POSIX on mingw32ce), and I didn't yet encounter any problem. While it was a pain to get everything compiled and running, the changes to SDL are actually quite small (see attached SDL-ce.diff). Unfortunately, the win32 headers shipped with cegcc are not 100% correct, and it feels quite messy to work around them in SDL code, so those headers will also need to be patched. (Attachment: win32api-ce.diff) Since I had to apply the libtool patch from the cegcc patch, I have also ad ded my copy of aclocal.m4 for SDL. I had to modify the cegcc libtool patch to use "lt_cv_deplibs_check_method=pass_all" for mingw32ce, otherwise libtool would not recognize the import libraries as valid for dynamic linking. All these changes should not affect non-WinCE builds, so they could be included in mainline SDL. If you need some docs, you can use this description for a cross-compilation README: 1) get cegcc from http://cegcc.sourceforge.net 2) build and install the "mingw32ce" variant (see cegcc installation docs) 3) patch w32api-headers (if not yet included in cegcc) 4) setup environment (customize the first three lines as you like): PREFIX=/opt/mingw32ce TARGET=arm-wince-mingw32ce BUILD=`uname -m`-pc-linux-gnu export PATH="$PREFIX/bin:$PREFIX/$TARGET/bin:$PREFIX/local/bin:$PATH" export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS:- -O2 -g} -I$PREFIX/local/include" export CPPFLAGS="${CPPFLAGS:- -O2 -g} -I$PREFIX/local/include" export CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS:- -O2 -g} -I$PREFIX/local/include" export LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS:- -O2 -g} -L$PREFIX/local/lib" export HOST_CC="gcc" export CC="$PREFIX/bin/$TARGET-gcc" export CXX="$PREFIX/bin/$TARGET-g++" export LD="$PREFIX/bin/$TARGET-ld" export AS="$PREFIX/bin/$TARGET-as" export AR="$PREFIX/bin/$TARGET-ar" export RANLIB="$PREFIX/bin/$TARGET-ranlib" export CONFIG_SHELL="/bin/sh" 5) build and install ./configure --target=$TARGET --host=$TARGET --build=$BUILD make make install 6) use (4) and (5) for any SDL-using software you want to cross-compile 7) copy $PREFIX/local/bin/SDL-1-2-0.dll into your executable directory on the WinCE machine

                         Simple DirectMedia Layer

                                  (SDL)

                                Version 1.2

This is the Simple DirectMedia Layer, a general API that provides low
level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL,
and 2D framebuffer across multiple platforms.

The current version supports Linux, Windows CE/95/98/ME/XP/Vista, BeOS,
MacOS Classic, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX,
and QNX.  The code contains support for Dreamcast, Atari, AIX, OSF/Tru64,
RISC OS, SymbianOS, Nintendo DS, and OS/2, but these are not officially
supported.

SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively, and has bindings to
several other languages, including Ada, C#, Eiffel, Erlang, Euphoria,
Guile, Haskell, Java, Lisp, Lua, ML, Objective C, Pascal, Perl, PHP,
Pike, Pliant, Python, Ruby, and Smalltalk.

This library is distributed under GNU LGPL version 2, which can be
found in the file  "COPYING".  This license allows you to use SDL
freely in commercial programs as long as you link with the dynamic
library.

The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in
the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory.
The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date.
More documentation is available in HTML format in "docs/index.html", and
a documentation wiki is available online at:
	http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi

The test programs in the "test" subdirectory are in the public domain.

Frequently asked questions are answered online:
