[CMake] Visual Studio and Windows Mobile SDKs

[Clemens Arth]

Hi,

I took a look at your files and I think you have done a pretty good job and that should work out well. For some reason I had to force the compiler setting to be MSVC, because cmake did not set it automatically. 

cmake --try-compile -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="C:/Program Files/CMake 2.6/share/cmake-2.6/Modules/Platform/platform_wince_cl_arm.cmake" -G"Visual Studio 9 2008" -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID="MSVC" ..

As I mentioned earlier there are "Smartphone" and "PocketPC" configurations in Windows Mobile 5/6. As a result, I still have to keep WINCE_HOST_CMAKE_PATH under "C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0/VC/ce", but I have to set WINCE_SDK_CMAKE_PATH such that I either points to "C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK R2\PocketPC" or to "C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK R2\SmartPhone". These subdirectories include the include/lib subdirectories in the case of wm5/6, which I also think might be the main difference between both configurations.

I think I was not totally mistaken when I thought Mobile 5 and CE 5 were more-or-less the same, because using your files I get quite far now. However, the linker returns an error for mobile 5 and 6:

module machine type 'X86' conflicts with target machine type 'THUMB'

This might be due to a missing compiler/linker flag I guess. Has anyone worked around that error yet?

Regards
Clemens
