eVC4 Japanese Installation Updating

Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 is Microsoft's official free development environment for applications for Windows CE .NET devices. This page introduces the steps to create an application for Brain using this development environment. However, please note that apps for the 5th generation cannot be created using this method.
How to install

Note: The full functionality of eVC4 cannot be used on Windows Vista or later, and problems may occur as it is only working with compatibility options. If you cannot use Windows 2000 or XP, it is safe to use VS2005, 2008 or CeGCC. Also, if you are using Windows Vista or later, you may receive an emulator-related error during installation, but please ignore it.

Download eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 JA from the Microsoft Download Center (direct link). Also, create a work folder (e.g. unzip_emvc) to be used from "2" onwards in an easy-to-understand location such as the desktop.
Run the downloaded file to open the self-extracting settings. Click the Browse... button to specify the directory of the working folder created in "1", and click the Unzip button to unzip it.
Confirm that the files are extracted directly under the directory of the working folder specified in "2".
Run setup.exe in the working folder you checked in "3" and follow the instructions in the dialog to install. The product key you will be asked for during the process is listed on the download page.
Download and run Service Pack 4 (direct link) for Windows 2000, XP or Service Pack 3 (direct link) for Windows Vista or later. As with "2", the self-extracting settings will open, so unzip it in the same way.
A folder called DISK1 should have been created, so run setup.exe in it and follow the instructions to install.
Install the Standard SDK. In addition, in the case of Windows 2000 and XP, it is also possible to install both SDKs and select which one to use when building.
If you are using Windows Vista or later, or if you want to target other CE4 devices (such as Sigmarion 3), run setup.exe in the SDK folder in the work folder confirmed in "3" and install according to the instructions. To do. However, if you are using Windows Vista or later, run it in Windows XP (Service Pack 3) compatibility mode.
If you are using Windows 2000, XP and are not targeting other CE4 devices, download and install the Windows CE 5.0 Standard SDK. This is where you can get something closer to the native SHARP Brain.
Run Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 added to the Start Menu and press New. A window like the one below will appear, so check whether you can check the CPU at the bottom right. If an error message appears during startup or the checkbox is grayed out, the installation has failed, so please check the previous steps again. In particular, there are many cases where SDK installation fails.

build

First, make sure you can build with the sample project.

Select "File" -> "New" -> "WCE Application" and choose an appropriate project name (for example, HelloBrain). By default, the project location is deep (C:\Program Files\Microsoft eMbedded C++ 4.0\Common\EVC\MyProjects\XXX), so it is better to change it.
Check ARMV4I for CPU. If you want to target others, you can check them additionally.
Select "Standard 'Hello World' Application", press "Finish", then press OK.
Select "Win32 (WCE ARMV4I) Debug" in the upper left, or if you are using the Windows CE 5.0 SDK, switch to "STANDARDSDK_500" on the left and press the "Build" button. When you finish, you will get an error like "...the application cannot run on an emulator device", but ignore it and press OK.
If successful, an executable file that runs on Brain will be generated in his ARMV4IDbg in the project folder. The sample application will run if you follow the method described in How to start the app.

The automatically generated files are a mess, so if you want to actually develop it, we recommend creating an "empty project", adding the source code, and building it. You can also refer to existing projects.
supplement

Source files, header files, and resources appear when you switch to "FileView" on the left, and can be opened by double-clicking. Please note that only Shift_JIS character code is supported.

If you set the output file name of "Project" -> "Settings" -> "Link" to "ARMV4IDbg/AppMain.exe" (or "ARMV4IRel/AppMain.exe" for Release builds), you can save the trouble of changing and transferring each time. It's easy because it can be omitted. Also, if you use an external library or a linker error occurs, you will need to add the necessary library files to the "Object/Library Module" below. The library that provides the Win32 API functions is written at the bottom of the MS article that says "Function name Windows CE". Commctrl.lib, commdlg.lib, mmtimer.lib are often added.
