I need to run some of the boost dlls on a PDA (Windows Mobile 5.0). Do I need to compile them with a different switch or with a different version of bjam or anything like that?
I've compiled the dlls with with VC8 on Windows XP. Would these versions of the dlls run on Windows Mobile?
We build apps for WinCE 5.0 using VC8 and have successfully used several of the build-requiring boost libraries including thread (with some minor fixes), signals, and date_time. We use STLPort 5 to make up for the incomplete standard C++ library that comes with CE 5.

As I'm sure you can tell, I'm fairly new at programming for the PDA with C++. I have been using the .NETCF and C# in the past, but my current project requires the use of C++. **pauses for flames** How did you go about compiling the libraries? Were you able to use a downloaded version of bjam to compile for VC8 + WinCE? Since I am unfamiliar with bjam and all, my first instinct was to put the classes I need into projects in Visual Studio, but at second glance it seemed like quite an undertaking. Then, I found the CreateThread method in windows.h and have been playing with it a bit. I think it will get me through what I need to do with threads, for now, but I'd say I'll need a better implementation soon. Thanks for your help. -Glen _________________________________________________________________ All-in-one security and maintenance for your PC.
