I understand what you mean, but I am more worried about the subtle differences in processors (like the MMX vs SSE in X86). These differences do not surface early, but when requested. I still remember 'those times' where a program would run correctly for some time, until one tries floating point operations and would crash badly.
I thought of running the Python regression tests, but I don't think those are available for Python CE, and I was unable to complete the tests on a test Desktop machine (some weird unstoppable exception is some *chat* test case). I am afraid I can not volunteer to build the CAB files myself. I am a bit scared to ask, but can't 'we' use SourceForge's farms to set up a continuous build system? I can not volunteer for that task either, because I am not a SourceForge (project) developer. You ask if I was able to install anything... I '''installed''' Mozilla's Minimo browser, but it has no Processor Type specified, and on top of that it would not run afterwards: the .exe files have no icon, and 'This is not a CE program' error shows when I try to run any of them. I have not seen any available CAB files for XScale, that I could test with. BTW. The Minimo project seems to have been archived and dropped. I don't like where Mozilla is going :-/ (I actively dislike Firefox 3.0). 2008/8/4, Alexandre Delattre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, > > What I meant is that if you can run python.exe without crashing, it seems > obvious to me that this code is compatible with your processor (else the > .exe would refuse to start, or you would have very strange results and won't > be able to enter a single command). > To me, the processor seems not to be the real backend problem, but you may > be right about the processor type specified in the cab preventing the > installation. > Are you able to install other PocketPC applications from .cab ? > > > Alexandre... > > Who is 'we' who should rebuild the CABs? > > Good question ...
