HOWTO: Developing for Windows CE 1.0 using eVT3.0 and HPC 2.0 SDK

After a lot of research, I finally got it!

using the trick I got here ,for adapting WinCE 2.11 SDK for 2.0, I could adapt it for build for CE 1.0:
the trick is simple: add this to the linker options:
/fixed:no
/align:4096

and Im going to test these two new options soon:
/subsystem:windowsce,1.0
/windowsce:convert,2bp

warning:
it is impossible to use MessageBox directly. You have to locate the resource first. Later I will post the details here...

Without a SDK, I'm going to imagine you will run into a massive number of API issues, simply because 1.0 doesn't support a raft of the API set that CE2 does, and many aren't interpreted in the same way.

Good luck though, please keep us informed, it'll be wonderful if you suss it.

Best of luck: I suspect rewriting or pruning the lib files would be a great idea too.

As I said in the Windows CE 1.0 forum, I could run the reversi example from SDK 2.0 without great issues.
the only real issue is about the message box. I need to find it, as it isnt loaded as default.

also, I had some problems trying to compile GnuBoy, but I could compile my projs without worries. (apart from eVT not connecting directly to H/PC Explorer).

My next step will be compiling SDL to it....

EDIT:
its great to see that HPC 1.0 users still have a home, as MS forgot about us.
indeed,the site works great with PIE 1.1 =-D

now , correcting things, the list of settings for the linker is:
/fixed:no
/align:4096
/subsystem:windowsce,1.0 (this one converts every resource to 2bp)

Dear NeoStrider,

Can you tell me where can I find WinCE 2.11 please ?
I have the same issue and I need to build for winCE 1.0 as well.

Thanks,
Fady

2.11 = HPC PRO (right?)

before you do the steps Ive described, you need to follow these:

addendum - using messagebox with the SDK 1.0:
the messagebox is not loaded by default, so we need to import it. to do that, just add the following:

#undef FindResource extern " C " { WINBASEAPI HRSRC WINAPI FindResource (HMODULE hModule, LPCWSTR lpName, LPCWSTR lpType); }

(not tested yet.)

one update about my development (i´ve been away of the HPC world for a while. Now im back): the eVT seems to lack STL. There is a port on the internet. Im going to test it and give some feedback very soon
