Building for WinCE 6.0

[Jeff Galbraith]

Thanks for the quick response. 

I took the time to look at things and this is what I came up with that
helped me do a built of Qt. It took some trial and error in getting the
paths correct for include and lib. I'm not sure if this is the solution,
so I'd appreciate if anyone has feedback on improving the process:

1. run "configure -platform win32-msvc2005 -xplatform
wince60standard-armv4i-msvc2005
2. create batch file in c:\Qt\4.3.2-tp1 directory "setupWinCE-Qt.bat"
Contains:
set
INCLUDE=C:\qt\4.3.2-tp1\include;C:\WINCE600\PUBLIC\COMMON\SDK\INC;C:\Pro
gram Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\ce\include;C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\ce\atlmfc\include;C:\WINCE600\OSDesigns\MyTestOSDesign\MyTestOSDesi
gn\Wince600\MyTestArmBSP_ARMV4I\cesysgen\ddk\inc;C:\WINCE600\OSDesigns\M
yTestOSDesign\MyTestOSDesign\Wince600\MyTestArmBSP_ARMV4I\cesysgen\oak\i
nc;C:\WINCE600\OSDesigns\MyTestOSDesign\MyTestOSDesign\Wince600\MyTestAr
mBSP_ARMV4I\cesysgen\sdk\inc
set
LIB=C:\qt\4.3.2-tp1\lib;C:\WINCE600\OSDesigns\MyTestOSDesign\MyTestOSDes
ign\Wince600\MyTestArmBSP_ARMV4I\cesysgen\sdk\lib\ARMV4I\retail;C:\WINCE
600\PUBLIC\COMMON\SDK\LIB\ARMV4I\RETAIL;C:\WINCE600\PUBLIC\IE\OAK\LIB\AR
MV4I\RETAIL;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\ce\lib\armv4i;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\ce\atlmfc\lib\armv4i;C:\WINCE600\OSDesigns\MyTestOSDesign\MyTestOSD
esign\Wince600\MyTestArmBSP_ARMV4I\cesysgen\oak\lib\ARMV4I\retail;C:\WIN
CE600\OSDesigns\MyTestOSDesign\MyTestOSDesign\Wince600\MyTestArmBSP_ARMV
4I\cesysgen\sdk\lib\ARMV4I\retail;
set PATH=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\ce\bin\x86_arm;%PATH%

Run from a Visual Studio command prompt.
3. run "nmake"

I haven't had time to test it yet, so if I run into problems I'll let
the list know.

However, I did see this warning:

kernel\qmime_win.cpp(1314) : warning C4996: 'QString::QString' was
declared deprecated
 
c:\qt\4.3.2-tp1\include\qtcore\../../src/corelib/tools/qstring.h(356) :
see declaration of 'QString::QString'

Not sure why QString would be declared deprecated...

Hi,

it is true, that since Windows CE 6 the Standard SDK has been deprecated

unfortunately. So in case you want to use Qt with a recently created SDK

basing on version 6, you can follow these steps mentioned in the 
documentation:
http://pepper.troll.no/ceprereleases/doc/windowsce-customization.html

If your system has the same configuration like it had with Windows CE 5,

you can easily use the wince60standard-armv4i-msvc2005 mkspecs and apply

them to your needs. It should build fine then.

Please tell us about any issues/success you have.
