   2  INSTALLATION FOR THE WINDOWS CE PLATFORM
   3  ----------------------------------------
   4
   5  Building OpenSSL for Windows CE requires the following external tools:
   6
   7   * Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 3.0 or later
   8   * Appropriate SDK might be required
   9   * Perl for Win32 [commonly recommended ActiveState Perl is available
  10     from http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/]
  11     You also need the perl module Text::Template.
  12     Please read README.PERL for more information.
  13
  14   * wcecompat compatibility library available at
  15     http://www.essemer.com.au/windowsce/
  16   * Optionally ceutils for running automated tests (same location)
  17
  18   _or_
  19
  20   * PocketConsole driver and PortSDK available at
  21     http://www.symbolictools.de/public/pocketconsole/
  22   * CMD command interpreter (same location)
  23
  24  As Windows CE support in OpenSSL relies on 3rd party compatibility
  25  library, it's appropriate to check corresponding URL for updates. For
  26  example if you choose wcecompat, note that as for the moment of this
  27  writing version 1.2 is available and actually required for WCE 4.2
  28  and newer platforms. All wcecompat issues should be directed to
  29  www.essemer.com.au.
  30
  31  Why compatibility library at all? The C Runtime Library implementation
  32  for Windows CE that is included with Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ is
  33  incomplete and in some places incorrect.  Compatibility library plugs
  34  the holes and tries to bring the Windows CE CRT to [more] usable level.
  35  Most gaping hole in CRT is support for stdin/stdout/stderr IO, which
  36  proposed compatibility libraries solve in two different ways: wcecompat
  37  redirects IO to active sync link, while PortSDK - to NT-like console
  38  driver on the handheld itself.

  40  Building
  41  --------
  42
  43  Setup the eMbedded Visual C++ environment.  There are batch files for doing
  44  this installed with eVC++.  For an ARM processor, for example, execute:
  45
  46  > "C:\Program Files\Microsoft eMbedded Tools\EVC\WCE300\BIN\WCEARM.BAT"
  47
  48  Next pick compatibility library according to your preferences.
  49
  50  1. To choose wcecompat set up WCECOMPAT environment variable pointing
  51     at the location of wcecompat tree "root":
  52
  53     > set WCECOMPAT=C:\wcecompat
  54     > set PORTSDK_LIBPATH=
  55
  56  2. To choose PortSDK set up PORTSDK_LIBPATH to point at hardware-
  57     specific location where your portlib.lib is installed:
  58
  59     > set PORTSDK_LIBPATH=C:\PortSDK\lib\ARM
  60     > set WCECOMPAT=
  61
  62  Note that you may not set both variables.
  63
  64  Next you should run Configure:
  65
  66  > perl Configure VC-CE
  67
  68  Next you need to build the Makefiles:
  69
  70  > ms\do_ms
  71
  72  Then from the VC++ environment at a prompt do:
  73
  74    > nmake -f ms\cedll.mak
  75
  76  [note that static builds are not supported under CE]
  77
  78  If all is well it should compile and you will have some DLLs and executables
  79  in out32dll*.
  80
  81  <<< everyting below needs revision in respect to wcecompat vs. PortSDK >>>
  82
  83  If you want
  84  to try the tests then make sure the ceutils are in the path and do:
  85
  86  > cd out32
  87  > ..\ms\testce
  88
  89  This will copy each of the test programs to the Windows CE device and execute
  90  them, displaying the output of the tests on this computer.  The output should
  91  look similar to the output produced by running the tests for a regular Windows
  92  build.
