1 | If you read this file _as_is_, just ignore the funny characters you |
| 2 | see. It is written in the POD format (see pod/perlpod.pod) which is | |
| 3 | specifically designed to be readable as is. | |

| 9 | =head1 Description | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | This file gives the instructions for building Perl5.6 and above for | |
| 12 | WinCE. Please read and understand the terms under which this | |
| 13 | software is distributed. | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | =head1 Build | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | This section describes the steps to be performed to build PerlCE. | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | =head2 Tools & SDK | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | For compiling, you need Microsoft Embedded Visual Tools, my | |
| 22 | celib-sources, my console-sources and a perl for win32. | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | Needed source files can be downloaded via: | |
| 25 | www.rainer-keuchel.de/wince/dirlist.html | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | Some portions of the makefile need a shell for win32, rm, cp, mv, | |
| 28 | xmkdir (mkdir with a -p option). It also uses my cecopy program for | |
| 29 | copying files to the ce device. | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | =head2 Make | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | Miniperl is not built. A pre-existent win32 perl is used. | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | The paths for tools and additional libraries have to be changed in | |
| 36 | wince/makefile.ce. | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | Different ce targets can be specified with the TARGET macro. | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | Before you start, you need to build celib.dll and w32console. | |
| 41 | See instructions in these packages for building. | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | In the wince directory, type "nmake -f makefile.ce". This should | |
| d1be9408 | 44 | build perl.exe and perl.dll. For building extension dlls, |
| e1caacb4 JH |
45 | type "nmake -f makefile.ce dlls" |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | When building ext dlls, you get lots of macro redefinition | |
| 48 | errors. Just ignore them. | |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | For further information, look in the text files in the wince | |
| 51 | sub-directory. | |

| 55 | The port for Win32 was used as a reference. | |
