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 been testing Boost with eVC++ 4.0 and some headers-only libraries work well (any, smartptr, etc.). Visual C++ 8.0 supports C++ much better than eVC++ 4.0 so theoretically it should be possible to compile. But there is still a problem with...incomplete C library. There are many missing C library functions on Windows CE-based platforms (no localtime, time, asctime and more functions, no errno object and related functions). Here is my small package with implementation of some of these functions: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wcelibcex So, I'm inclined to say many Boost libraries will need to be ported/patched and many will be unusable.
I've compiled the dlls with with VC8 on Windows XP. Would these versions of the dlls run on Windows Mobile?
