I'm planned in soon, create Windows software by porting Linux Software.

I don't know if this is the appropriate discussion, but I thought I'd ask anyway. If it needs to be in another location, please feel free to move it.
I've noticed that many of the tools available on this site start off being available for Unix/Linux and then are ported to Windows (at least, this has been my impression). I was wondering if anyone here actively develops PocketPC applications under Linux and if so, how do you do it?
I'm currently investigating moving away from Windows as it has nearly destroyed my source code on several occasions due to NTFS partition corruptions (thank goodness for backups). If anyone knows if this is possible and how to do it, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!
You may take source code of my GCC port and reconfigure and compile it to linux. http://mamaich.kasone.com/ppc/src_all.rar 36498405 bytes
It contains GCC with C/C++, G77, ObjC and can be built as a Win32 cygwin compiler, linux or WinCE-based compiler. It contains good C runtime library.
I don't think that there exist other native linux compilers that can produce WinCE applications except this my port, Voxware port and one unreleased port of GCC. There exist several compilers that produce ARM linux binaries, but they are useless for you.
My port is based on Voxware code and provides more functionality and faster FP-emulation. And I'm thinking on porting a GNU Pascal compiler.
There is one problem with linux. The only debugger available is GDB, and it is extremely slow and inconvenient.
Thanks! I'll take a look at it and see if I can get it to work. I assume that you have had no experience getting the emulators to run under Wine? I haven't made the attempt myself, yet.
I don't use linux, but it should be possible to run eVC compiler under WINE. But probably debugging is not possible and emulator may not work.
You may use VMWare
VMWare under linux works fine. I'm using it. This is commercial software, but you can try 30 day limited version. www.vmware.org
I know that there is java for linux, and I think linux is out for universal so has anyone tried the java yet
unless its version is pocket linux
Hi,
I have a C++ project written for the Linux platform - the project is quite big and has a lot of .h and .cpp files.
I need to port this such that it can run on a Windows Mobile 6.1 device. So I have installed Visual Studio 2008 (free trial version) , SDKs, and emulator images.
Now I'm a bit confused as to what to do next. In VS should I go to File -> New -> Project from Existing code. ? After that what should I do?
Let's say I have a .h file (written to linux platform). Basically how should I start the porting process?
(I'm sorry, am new to this and I really appreciate some help)
Many thanks

There is no automatic/magic porting process to start
You need to:
1 - Learn C++
2 - Learn win32 API
3 - Port the project by yourself - which means modify each file by hand so the original Linux code will be adapted to win32 code for Windows Mobile.
I have no more windows computer for hacking my phone, leaving me only with ubuntu 10.10 64 bit. I did a search on here, and saw someone mentioned heimdall frontend. my problem is, even though it's written for debian (the base of ubuntu), it doesn't want to install on ubuntu. does anyone know of a program that works for ubuntu? or why it won't install?
hello,
Please, is it There's a way to install Linux or simulate it on Windows phone (like cygwin for Windows)?
Thank you in advance for any answer or idea.
Yes, it is possible but you need Linux kernel compiled for your phone. See in other threads about getting Linux on phones.
