Well... First thanks for the Active Sync explanation. Reading the mailing list archives I was left with the impression, that Active Sync was actually translating the application for the architecture of the connected device. So I found a friend, tricked him into installing Active Sync, and trying to install the .EXE distribution files. Both the ARM and the SmartPhone versions failed to install with a similar message.
Another thing I am not grasping is the difference between ARM, StrongARM and XScale. Probably wrong, but I thought XScale was backwards compatible with the ARM processors, however a quick tour around the Wikipedia hints otherwise... Pardon my bluntness, but until recently I had Java on every platform I had in mind... Can someone compile a Python version for an XScale processor? How does this work? Do I need a Windows host? Is the Python CE compilable with a GNU toolkit set? Like I've said Windows based development is a No-No for us. 2008/7/28, Jared Forsyth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Firstly, the Active Sync method merely automates the copy .CAB/install > process--you're not missing out in anything. > The only problem I can thing of is that of your processor: your device runs > XSale, while I believe the .CABs are compiled for ARM _______________________________________________ PythonCE mailing list PythonCE@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce
