Fredrik, Honestly, I never heard about Vitaliy Pronkin's port. Personally, I use OpenEmbedded ( http://oe.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/GettingStarted ), for which I made packages, you can read about this work and to download all I did there:
http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/SummerOfCode2005#head-4fc14e07501cfa43a19 bffec6c3895694d70a5f2 Another approach is to use ScratchBox which provides an ARM Debian environment http://scratchbox.org/ and to compile like you would do on a real ARM box. If you have any questions you are welcome to ask them on the irc channel #dotgnu on irc.freenode.net which is one of the main communication tools of the DotGNU project. Cheers, Kirill. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2005 14:22:00 +0200 From: Fredrik Jonson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [DotGNU] Viable options for pocket pc and compact framework development? To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I'm trying to find a future-safe and legal[2] work flow for developing applications for Pocket PC on linux. If this is of topic for this mailinglist, pleas let me know. I tried to find a dotgnu portable.net _user_ mailinglist, but if it exists it eluded me. My hope was to use dotgnu and the pnetlib, the compact framework version, to develop the application, and then somehow crosscompile it for the pocket pc. I found a discussion on this list from 2004[0], and I found Vitaliy Pronkin's port of the dotgnu environment to the Pocket PC[1]. But it still leaves me a bit uncertain as how feasable it is. Since 2004 has there been any progress on incorporating Vitalys port or make any cross compiling environment for dotgnu on the Pocket PC? Otherwise, the only mean I have to completely avoid any Microsoft tools, while developing for Pocket PC is: 1. Implementation and verification is possible with dotgnu pnet lib, using the compact profile. 2. Then, to make a PocketPC executable, the only option is to transfer the source code to the pocket pc client (an ipaq 6500 in this case) and compile it using Vitalys tools. Is all this a correct interpretation, or is anyone aware of any other possibilities for me to explore? Any kind of cross platform compilation would be ideal.

Besides, I'd really really want to avoid giving MS 700$ for something I don't like in the first place. =) ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Developers mailing list [email protected] http://dotgnu.org/mailman/listinfo/developers
