The other values are also vital. Like the instruction set and the
architecture family. They have to be defined. The only thing that
might not be that straight forward is selecting one of the three cross
compilers. But then we have every information to set up cmake. We have
CMAKE_C_COMPILER=$(VSInstallDir)/.../x86_architecture/cl.exe
CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=$(VSInstallDir)/.../x86_architecture/cl.exe
CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=WinCE
CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=OSMajorVersion.OSMinorVersion
We then let WinCE.cmake set the macros
UNDER_CE=0xOSMajorVersionOSMinorVersion
And we can add the other macros $(INSTRUCTIONSET) $(ARCHFAMILY)
$(_ARCHFAMILY_) somehow.

Looking at that I think we could do the same for NMake, since we even
get the include and library paths of the SDK from the
WCE.VCPlatform.config.xml

Now I have another question regarding an addition to the VS7Generator:

+        fout << "\t\t\t\tAdditionalDependencies=\" ";
+        this->Internal->OutputLibraries(fout, cli.GetItems());
+        fout << "\"\n";
+        fout << "\t\t\t\tDelayLoadDLLs=\"$(NOINHERIT)" << "\"\n";
+        fout << "\t\t\t\tRandomizedBaseAddress=\"1" << "\"\n";
+        fout << "\t\t\t\tDataExecutionPrevention=\"0" << "\"\n";

What do the three flags  DelayedLoadDLLs RandomizedBaseAddress and
DataExecutionPrevention mean? At first glance they do not seem to be
Windows Mobile/CE specific?

Is this maybe related to unresolved external symbol:
__security_check_cookie  error messages, that I just got while writing
this email.

kind regards
