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 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. + +=head1 Author + +Rainer Keuchel (keuchel@netwave.de) |
