Porting code to PPC WinCE

[Mike Doner]

Hi All, We currently have a client-server application written in Win32 and we're in the process of trying to create a slimmed down version of the client software for the Pocket PC. Our application is a fair size, and uses a few in-house developed DLLs for drawing areas etc. We want to be able to use code contained in these .DLLs on our Pocket PC app to avoid multiple copies of the same code in two projects. We're using VS2003.NET for the Win32 development, and eVC 4.0 for the PPC stuff. Has anyone been in these shoes before? How have they solved the problem? I thought of creating a similar .DLL in my PPC application, and actually link in the sources files from the original.DLL while adding #ifdefs to the .DLL to include functions that I require, then compile them using the evC compiler, realizing that not all the calls we make the .DLLs will be available in the PPC environment. This could be quite messy, but would eliminate the maintenence issue. I realize that some of the calls that the Windows .DLL will make, will not be available in the PPC Edition. We will need to address these individually I think. Any suggestions? Thank you very much. Mike
