Welcome to wiki, related to Perl, Tcl-Tk on WinCE devices!

This wiki is intended to gather and discuss information about building and using Perl and Tcl-Tk on WinCE.

These pages are hopefully very easy to update, so here you'll probably find more recent information, and probably will add your own bit of information, or ask questions on related pages. Anyone who want to edit, just drop me a letter (mail to vkonovalov as user of sourceforge) and I'll immediately share password for editing permissions.

Requirements for both Perl and Tcl/Tk? on CE

Following should be prepared for both perl and tcl/tk:

• cross-compiler, see Preparing compiler for WinCE
• CELIB, beucase both PerlCE? and Tcl-Tk-Ce use it as underlying C library. To obtain it see http://www.rainer-keuchel.de/ for it and other software ported to WinCE.
  • [Downloading CELIB]? usually is good enough.
  • rebuilding CELIB is possible but not usually necessary.
