wince 3.00 (2002) build for release 0.9.0

Post by knakos »

Dear users,

You may have noticed that there is no build for 2002 OS devices available with release 0.9.0 of scummvm. As I remarked on an earlier thread, the codebase has become increasingly complex to "confuse" the evc3 developement system, which has to be used for 2002 devices. We are working on using alternative build systems (gcc) which should provide the required backward compatibility. This is our major priority right now, before a round of bug-squishing which have made their way in 0.9.0. I think this is also a good time to have a poll about the number of users with old devices :)

PS. The poll is going to run for 30 days.

Hi knakos!
If you plan using gcc 3.3.3 toolchain - ScummVM compiles and runs fine but chances that this build will run on 2002 are quite low.

Hi n0p,

Thanks again for your contributions. I'm currently compiling using the toolchain from the vlc guys, after the advice of joostp. I wrote a three line app for testing which runs just fine on my 2002 device. It's a long way from a simple app to scummvm, but at least it seems there is binary compatibility with these tools. The currect ce codebase needs modifications for successful compilation/linking which i will commit as soon as I get scummvm running.

Kostas

PS. The toolchain has gcc 4.1.0 20050511.

Are there any news about a 0.9.0 for WM2002? Would love it, as I want to play on PC and PPC with the same version (savegames...).
I already installed 0.9.0 without thinking about this problem, and don't have any new savegames from 0.8.2 :( Otherwise I would simply downgrade.

MfG

I bope you added to the unbzipped file the .exe extension.

Other than that, the error you report is given when either:
1) an application has invalid format (ie. no PE header - generic data file)
2) the os version of the application is greater then the device
3) you're missing some .dll the application depends on.

(2) is out of the question. You may try putting a gx.dll in the scummvm directory if your system does not supply one. (1) is out of the question as well (provided the .exe was added.
