The confusion about activesync is that if the program had been compiled
for multiple architectures then the processor specific cabs would all be
inside the exe installer and activesync would select the appropriate one
for the particular device. It sounds like you're going to need to figure
out a way to compile for the Xscale without the use of Visual Studio.
As Jared suggested in another thread, try http://cegcc.sourceforge.net/
or maybe http://www.ronetix.at/software.html
I'm not sure on the difference between ARM and XScale but maybe VS left
out something your specific devices need that isn't on other devices.

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
