| Thread for ideas/feedback on compiling software for new architetures/OSs
Details in spoiler
Progress by I dunk for bananas, thenzero, torch, & watamario15 as of 15-Jan-23 (+integrated into SCL)
Okay, with A LOT of C:Amie's help, I was able to figure out how to get eMbedded Visual Studio 3.0 set up and how to compile stuff.
I can now build for H/PC 2.0, H/PC Pro 3.0, & HPC2000. (SH3, SH4, ARM, MIPS, x86)
Anyway, I was looking for perhaps easy stuff (not complicated multi-library stuff like ScummVM yet) that we can recompile from sourcecode (if it's simple eVC projects) that you want to have me try to recompile.
In TFGBD's x86 software list, he mentioned some software that was able to be recompiled for x86 with the source code.
So...if there's a missing binary for a certain architecture (+version) and it has a eVC project file, and we have the source available...let me know, and I'd be happy to give it a try.
When I have more experience, I'd like to try compiling ScummVM <0.9.0, because those supported eVC, so perhaps I can get newer SH3,SH4,x86, MIPS builds we haven't had before in the SCL |

| Congratulations.
Saw the compiled photo on nPOPuk w/o SSL being compiled. Good work!  |

| Thank you!
Okay, test#1
I compiled
https://www.hpcfactor.com/scl/801/Mike_Welch/ReMap/version_1.0
for Windows CE 2.0 MIPS
Also:
I may start next with this developer if it’ll let me compile for diff architectures in SCL

| Wouldn't ReMap compile to SH3?
Perhaps it would be better to put them directly into the SCL rather than litter the forums with binary files. Just identify the file download as blablabla-beta.ext. Files can be renamed later if they are confirmed as working (they can be renamed on the admin UI ).
If we create a thread for testing and feedback requests any new compilations can be linked to with specific requests on what needs testing e.g.
https://www.hpcfactor.com/scl/801/Mike_Welch/ReMap/version_1.0
RemapMP_MIPS200-beta.zip
CE 2.00, MIPS |

| Sounds good!
I’ll do it this way instead !
So to be clear, we can still use this thread but I’ll just add them to the SCL as beta in this manner but I can make a post referencing what was added etc and link to the respective SCL listing?
And yes remap should also compile to x86 and sh4 etc
Edit: also if it makes more sense, you can combine this thread into the SCL ideas thread so there’s not a duplication in scope ?

| This is lovely!! Let me see what I can gather.
One thing we can definitely take a look at is Info-Zip, which already has a Windows CE port, though that port deliberately has no ARM or x86 builds for some reason. It's mentioned on the official website that it is open source, though it only seems to link back to Info-Zip.
Anyway, this archive has all the stuff needed to compile it (in the "wince" directory ). It only seems to be the version that is able to unzip archives, but not create them, and I'm not sure if it contains a GUI. Still worth a try!! Edited by I dunk for bananas 2022-12-04 1:29 PM

| I wish compiling 7zip for x86 and MIPS were a possibility, but it requires a version of Visual Studio that I don't have, and it seems to be a very convoluted process sadly |

| Hey, I'm working in the Info-Zip, I'll keep you updated. Keep sending me stuff as you find it and I'm happy to try all of them.
Also, what version of Visual Studio is required for 7zip?
Edit:
I ran into some trouble (that's a good think in a way, always a learning experience )
So, when I open the project file into eVC, it mentions that eVC didn't directly create the project, so it had me create a new project..
Then, when I try to compile it, I get error:
a--------------------Configuration: punzip - Win32 (WCE x86 ) Release--------------------

Also: added MIPS,SH3 CE 2.0 + x86,SH4 CE2.11 for remap mp beta builds per C:Amie

| There's a lot of ARM-only stuff that would be nice to recompile for MIPS as well - including stuff written for Windows Mobile 2003 (based on CE 4.2 ) that could then be run on MIPS CE 5 devices. |

| I’m definitely open to that! I want do that for MIPS and x86
Edit: how do I regenerate a cpu architecture make file for a project?
For example I was trying to compile ScummVM 0.7.1 for sh4 and x86 but I don’t see the option for the architecture to build it
Is that because the new architecture require lower level code or dependencies that aren’t present ?
Edit: camie can you rename RemapMP_X86211-beta.zip to x86300? I compiled it for 3.0 x86 but I didn’t name it correctly.

| Okay.
Two questions:
Will that work on Windows 11, or is an XP vm recommended?
Question 2:
I have a copy somewhere of it. Do I need to use the free express version or the full version ? I think I have both in my file archives |

| An XP VM is def what I'd go with! I believe Express lacks the option to compile for CE sadly |

| Dang, this is really cool torch.
Also...that remap program is awesome! |
