Building Boost for Windows CE

[Daniel Lidström]

Hello,

I am interested in building boost for a few Windows CE platforms.
This question has been asked before, but there doesnt' seem to be
any information about where to start. From what I read in old posts
here, the compiler to select looks something like this:

toolset=msvc-9.0~wm6

What do I need to do to configure such a compiler? Can it be auto-detected?
I already have STLport compiled for all platforms I need.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Regards,

This configuration (or similar) is included in C++ Boost tests, and if you
click on the tester, you should see the user-config.jam that is being used.

Hello Volodya,

there is only one user-config.jam in Boost-1.38:
Daniel-PC:/cygdrive/c/Users/Daniel.SBG/Programming/boost_1_38_0> find .
-name "*.jam" | grep user
./tools/build/v2/user-config.jam

There is nothing about wm in there. Where do you want me to look really? I
have searched
for wm5/6 but didn't find anything but this:

Daniel-PC:/cygdrive/c/Users/Daniel.SBG/Programming/boost_1_38_0> grep wm5 -R
*
status/explicit-failures-markup.xml:            <toolset
name="msvc-8.0~wm5~stlport5.1"/>
status/explicit-failures-markup.xml:            <toolset
name="msvc-8.0~wm5*"/>
status/explicit-failures-markup.xml:            <toolset
name="msvc-8.0~wm5*"/>
status/explicit-failures-markup.xml:            <toolset
name="msvc-8.0~wm5~stlport5.1"/>
status/explicit-failures-markup.xml:            <toolset
name="msvc-8.0~wm5~stlport5.1"/>
status/explicit-failures-markup.xml:            <toolset name="msvc*wm5*"/>

Someone definitely has been running tests for wm5.

Oh. By C++ Boost tests I mean this:

        http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/summary.html

In particular:

        http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/VeecoFTC.html

Hello everybody,

            Sorry for my ignorance, but I still have a problem running bjam to compile boost for windows ce.

I have:

        --> made my own batch in order to setup environment variables
        --> compiled stl port version 5.2.1 for arm successfully

I'm running bjam using the following command line:

bjam --with-regex --build-dir=.\WCE msvc-WCE/variant=debug,release/threading=multi/link=shared,static/runtime-link=static

I also added this section in my user-config.jam file:

#-------------------------------------------
# Special configuration for cross compiling
# to armv4...
#-------------------------------------------
using msvc : WCE :

    "cl.exe" :
    <compileflags>-D_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
    <compileflags>-D_WIN32_WCE=0x501
    <compileflags>-DUNDER_CE=0x501
    <compileflags>-DWIN32_WCE_PSPC
    <compileflags>-DWINCE
    <compileflags>-DARM
    <compileflags>-D_ARM_
    <compileflags>-DARMV4I
    <compileflags>-D_LITTLE_ENDIAN
    <compileflags>-DUNICODE
    <compileflags>-D_UNICODE
    <compileflags>-DPOCKETPC2003_UI_MODEL
    <compileflags>-DBOOST_NO_STD_LOCALE
    <compileflags>-D_MSC_VER=1500

    <linkflags>commctrl.lib
    <architecture>arm
    <instruction-set>armv4
    <interface>wince
    <assembler>"armasm.exe"
;

using stlport : WCE :
        C:\STLport-5.2.1\stlport
        C:\STLport-5.2.1\lib\evc9-arm
        C:\STLport-5.2.1\bin\evc9-arm
;

When I launch compilation, I get the following error:

libs\regex\src\..\src\wc_regex_traits.cpp(93) : error C2039: 'wcsxfrm' : is not a member of 'std'
libs\regex\src\..\src\wc_regex_traits.cpp(93) : error C3861: 'wcsxfrm': identifier not found
libs\regex\src\..\src\wc_regex_traits.cpp(93) : fatal error C1903: unable to recover from previous error(s); stopping compilation

Could you help me please?

Thanks in advance

I think that only John has an idea of what this function is, why it might be
missing on CE and how is it possible to workaround this.

Well, I think the C and C++ standards might have something to say about what
the function is... as for workarounds, I suggest you just omit
wc_regex_traits.cpp from the library build as you don't usually need it
(unless your platform is missing std::locale as well!)

HTH, John.

Thank you for your answers Volodya and John.

John: I will try you your suggestion.

I just have one question: did I made something wrong ( in my command line for example, or in my user-config.jam file)?

Thanks again for your help.

No it's just that we only have limited testing capability on CE so these
issues don't always show up.

John.

The user-config.jam referred to at VeecoFTC calls two <setup> batch
files, VSVars32-VC9-STLPort.bat and VSVars32-VC9-WM5.bat.

Do a copy of these exist on the network?

It is possible to write one's own, but there are many flavors of CE
build environments, so a "known working" file would be helpful.

Also, the use-config.jam says:

using msvc : 9.0~wm5~stlport5.2 :
     "C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/bin/cl.exe" :

I don't understand bjam syntax very well, but I think this says that the
  toolset name msvc-9.0~wm5~stlport5.2 is setup to use the VC8 (not VC9)
compiler. Is this correct? Does anyone know the reason for this?

Thanks

Andy

I have attached our version of these batch files.

We recently upgraded from testing on VC8 to testing on VC9.  This
lingering reference to VC8 is a typo.  It should reference Studio 9.0.
