The WinCE port is under development. Currently only WinCE on ARM and i386 (WinCE emulator) is supported.
Status
The 2.1.x compiler has compiler support for arm-wince and a partial working system unit.
Building
- You need cross binutils for arm-wince, get them from ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/contrib/cross/arm-wince-binutils.zip for Win32.
- Extract them to some dir in the path on your machine.
- Prepend the executable from the archive with a arm-wince- i.e. as.exe becomes arm-wince-as.exe.
- Get the 2.1 source repository from SVN: http://www.freepascal.org/develop.html#svn
- Go to fpc/compiler and execute make cycle CPU_TARGET=arm OS_TARGET=wince
At a certain point this breaks when the native compiler is compiled. This doesn't hurt, because you usually don't need the native compiler.
You should end with the units compiled to fpc/rtl/units/arm-wince and a ppccrossarm.exe in fpc/compiler. Copy them to locations fitting your fpc installation.
TODO
- Converting PocketPC SDK headers to Windows unit is needed. It is main show-stopper now.
Documentation
WinCE port notes
- chdir is not supported (due to OS design).
- WinCE is unicode OS. All string parameters to API calls must be PWideChar.
