cool. Thanks for the notes. I've downloaded the cegcc from here: http://cegcc.sourceforge.net/ I got this file, since I'm using cygwin: cygwin-cegcc-mingw32ce-0.51.0-1.tar.gz Is that the one you're using? It seems pythonce itself is compiled with the embedded visual C++ 4.0 : http://pythonce.so

Hi, Rene. Thanks for the clarification on pygame-ctypes. The link where I found the SCUMMVM SDL libraries is here: http://users.uoa.gr/~knakos/scummvm/libraries/release-0-10-0/wince-gcc-libs.tar.bz2 There are a number of files in there, including a .diff file which may shed some light on some of

What is the best way to compile extensions for python CE ? Adam: do you have a link to those SCUMVM files? Any further progress? Why not pygame-ctypes? It was slow, buggy, and non-portable - and C pygame worked fine. The author was paid to do it, and stopped when the money ran out and moved on

nice work :) It can be easier to first try and get the SDL test programs compiling. Then try and get a really simple, minimal python extension compiling... and you guessed it, try and get them both compiling together :) There's a few wince folks hanging out on the libsdl mailing list if you have

Well, I have been attempting to get something working, but have been struggling to get the SDL compiled correctly (without SDL, there is no point in trying to get pygame working). In my investigations, I came across the SCUMM forum. Now the SCUMMVM appears to be a fully working product on various p

Hi, if anyone has any project files to build pygame on pythonce I'd love to have them included with pygame. I'm an author/maintainer of pygame and have commit access to svn, so could add project files if someone makes them... I could also add a pygame download for python CE to the pygame.org down

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
