Subject: Building Ruby for WinCE (Pocket PC)

Hi,

I'm trying and failing to build Ruby (1.8.2) for WinCE.
Any and all help appreciated

The documentation at wince/README.wince says:
(3) Please set environment variable (({INCLUDE})), (({LIB})),
(({PATH})), (({CE_TOOLS_DIR})), (({EMBEDDED_TOOLS_DIR}))
to run required commands properly from the command line.

This is as far as I got with environment variables:

set CE_TOOLS_DIR="D:\Apps\Microsoft eMbedded Tools\EVC"
set EMBEDDED_TOOLS_DIR="D:\Apps\Microsoft eMbedded Tools"
set path=%path%D:\Apps\Microsoft eMbedded Tools\Common\EVC\Bin;
set path=%path%D:\Apps\Microsoft eMbedded Tools\EVC\WCE300\Bin;
set include=D:\Apps\Microsoft eMbedded Tools\EVC\Include;D:\Apps\Visual 
Studio
NET 2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Include\;D:\Apps\Visual Studio NET 2003\Vc7\Include

I set SUBSYSVERSION = 300 in the Makefile that configure.bat generated.

Now I am rewarded with the following errors:

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

I'm guessing (at least part of) the problem is the Visual Studio 2003
header files the compiler is picking up. But:
  ../wince/../win32/win32.h(25) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include 
file:
  'windows.h': No such file or directory
Where is windows.h meant to come from for this build?

Any help?

Thanks,
Dave
