Re: vim on windows mobile

Hello,


Thanks for the positive answer...




some clarifications:

1. windows ce and windows mobile are more or less the same what concerns the API. Windows ce is more history, windows mobile is running on pda's and several mobile phones. ... You should keep a try... you world in pocket with vim .)  (http://www.pdashop.nl for people in Nederlands :) )

2. The CeGCC (http://cegcc.sourceforge.net) project implements a cross compiler for Windows CE. You can develop on linux, and create apps that run on a PDA or a WinCE cell phone

3. therefore the configure will run on linux or other platform where cegcc is built

4. I am not very good in configure (autoconf family) macros, what is needed that configure tests for windows ce platform for gui instead of checking for ncurses/terminal libs, when run with target host cegcc.

I will do some more tests and fixes, and then will prepare a decent diff, however the question is are you ready to include the os_mswin.c family files in the linux distro?


P.S.
I have just found now the answer of Markus Heidelberg, to my prev. email (http://www.mail-archive.com/vim_dev@googlegroups.com/msg06855.html), thanks Markus!

Support for more platforms is always welcome.

I wonder how you manage to run congifure on a windows system.  You
probably need to write a src/README*.txt file to explain the procedure
and what tools are needed.

Is Windows CE the same thing as Windows mobile?

Next thing to do would be to make a diff available, so that we can have
an idea of what the change looks like.
