Hi, I've been able to make pygame-ctypes works with SDL.dll and SDL_Image.dll built from "unofficial" wince project files of SDL, with very minimal changes. I'm keen to package this and make it public, but you must note this is very experimental and is a bit slow. The constraints explained

Hello, I'm doubting the problem comes from the processor type, as you were able to run the Python 2.2 port which is also compiled for arm. Unfortunately CeGCC support only arm platform yet (the two cross-compilation targets available are arm-wince-cegcc and arm-wince-mingw32) so I'm afraid it

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

One more word on the ASync - you are right that it does modify certain files when they are transfered, but not all. I have not tested this properly, but I believe that AS will recognise certain files (especially media) and convert them to work on within the limitations of the PPC device (e.g. lower

Hi, Lachezar. I would agree with Jared. Not having used any XScale devices, I do not have what you might call hard evidence, but a quick Google for ARM and XScale lead me to the MSDN website, which seems to confirm that compiling for XScale is a specific target (and would therefore suggest that AR

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 tr

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 On Mon, Jul 28, 2008 at 4:27 AM, Lachezar Dobrev <[E
