After 22 weeks ;-) of the initial post I’m very glad to announce the first release of GDAL/OGR port for Windows CE.
Two days ago I commited all files and changes to the official GDAL CVS repository.
Today, I was porting a fairly big library to use it on Windows CE. I created a library project with eVC++ 4.0 then added source files of the library and with pretty smile on my face I hit F7. Then I was pelted with huge amount of error messages :-( Shortly, I revealed where was the problem. I thought it will bowl over everything I planned! I took a deep breath and… Simply, eVC++ 4.0 compiler, as well as VC++ 6.0 (and earlier), does not support in-place initialization of static const member data of class!
Today, I encoutered a very new for me Web gadget - blog-like interaface to wtl@yahoogroups.com - Windows Template Library support list. It’s really cool! It also provides RSS feed to WTL list, so now I can add it as a channel to my Thunderbird aggregator.
At once, I found WTL list is also available through GMANE gate, by HTTP or NNTP. Shame on me! It’s there since June 5, 2003. Better Later than Never :-)

Recently, I started small investigation to find out what may I expect from the new Visual C++ 2005 compiler if I’d like to start using it for Windows CE software development. Yes, I’m still using eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0, but Visual C++ 2005 seems very interesting for me. After my investigation I’m convinced it would help me to solve many problems related to low ANSI/ISO C++ standard conformance of the older eVC++ 4.0. But let’s start from the beginning.
Today, I published my first article on the Pocket PC Developer Network.
My article is a kind of crash course explaining how to use STLport with eMbedded Visual C++ compiler and IDE to develop Windows CE applications. I hope it will encourage new Windows CE software developers to try STLport. I found this STL implemenation as a great piece of software, useful in my daily work and more complete STL implementation than that shipped with eVC++ SDKs.
If you are curious what I wrote follow this link to How to use STLport with eMbedded Visual C++.
