The compiler is cl.exe, so the same name as the native compiler.
Windows Mobile is a new version of the Windows CE. WindowsMobile would 
be a good name for the target platform.
This is the content of the CMakeError.log:

"C:\Programme\CMake\share\cmake-2.5\Modules\CMakeCCompilerId.c" failed with the following output:

/out:CMakeCCompilerId.exe 
CMakeCCompilerId.obj 
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'OLDNAMES.lib'

When doing
  set LINK=/NODEFAULTLIB:oldnames.lib /subsystem:windowsce,5.01 /DLL
before running cmake, at least the custom platform file is scanned, but 
only when I run it under plain console (no vcvarsall.bat). I think there 
should be a way to avoid setting LINK.
So far my batch file looks like this:

set PATH=C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\ce\bin\x86_arm\;%PATH%
set PATH=C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE;%PATH%
set INCLUDE=C:\Programme\Windows CE Tools\wce500\Windows Mobile 5.0 
Pocket PC SDK\Include\Armv4i;C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 
8\VC\ce\atlmfc\include;C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\ce\include
set LIB=C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 
8\VC\ce\lib\armv4i;C:\Programme\Windows CE Tools\wce500\Windows Mobile 
5.0 Pocket PC SDK\Lib\ARMV4I
set LINK=/NODEFAULTLIB:oldnames.lib /subsystem:windowsce,5.01 /DLL 
/NOLOGO coredll.lib corelibc.lib

mkdir build-arm-wince-nmake
cd build-arm-wince-nmake
mkdir Debug
cd Debug

cmake -DCMAKE_MODULE_PATH=%CD%\..\..\..\config\cmake 
-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=%CD%\..\..\..\config\cmake\toolchain-visual-wince.cmake 
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%CD%\..\..\..\arm-wince 
-DTARGET_PLATFORM=arm-wince -G "NMake Makefiles" ..\..

The toolchain file:

MESSAGE(STATUS "Took toolchain-visual")
SET(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME WindowsMobile)
# which C and C++ compiler to use
SET(CMAKE_C_COMPILER   "/Programme/Microsoft Visual Studio 
8/VC/ce/bin/x86_arm/cl.exe")
SET(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "/Programme/Microsoft Visual Studio 
8/VC/ce/bin/x86_arm/cl.exe")
# here is the target environment located
SET(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH  "/Programme/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/ce")
# adjust the default behaviour of the FIND_XXX() commands:
# search headers and libraries in the target environment, search
# programs in the host environment
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM NEVER)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY ONLY)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE ONLY)

... and the platform file WindowsMobile.cmake located in config\Platform 
is at the end of the mail. I have removed some checks there, and am not 
sure if all is ok there.
Now cmake fails after scanning the WindowsMobile.cmake with a message 
which is not telling me much:

-- Check for working C compiler: /Programme/Microsoft Visual Studio 
8/VC/ce/bin/x86_arm/cl.exe
CMake Error: Invalid escape sequence \w
Syntax error in cmake code at
C:/work/sw-repo/trunk/osal/build-arm-wince-nmake/Debug/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp/CMakeLists.txt:1:
syntax error, unexpected cal_ERROR, expecting $end (4), when parsing 
string 
"C:\work\sw-repo\trunk\osal\build-arm-wince-nmake\Debug\..\..\..\config\cmake"
CMake Error: Internal CMake error, TryCompile configure of cmake failed

etc.
Any ideas how to make it through ?
Thanks,

Art
