Porting to 5.0, bad libraries

I just downloaded Windows CE 5.0 Evaluation Edition. I'm trying to build
for a Geode platform, so that is what I selected. I then did a build and
sysgen, created an empty project, and inserted the "hello" sample app into
the project. When I build the project, I get "Wininet.h not found". I
defined "_WIN32_WCE_NO_ WININET" in stdafx.h to get past that. I then got
about 80 linker errors on various MFC classes, none of them directly from my
code.

I didn't do anything fancy, this must be a common problem, but I've seen
nothing on the newsgroups.

Can anybody help?

What OS design template did you start with. What exactly are the errors? It
sounds like you started with a fairly limited OS design that won't support
MFC.

I think you're on to something, it makes sense.

The template I used is "WCE Application"; the only other template that
seemed reasonable was "WCE Console Application", but that sounded like
something running from a DOS prompt, which this is not.

These errors are from the "hello" sample (NOT the "hello" app offered as a
target.

Does your platform include MFC?

Wrong kind of template - I meant for the Complete OS. When you used the new
platform wizard to create a new OS design - what did you select as the OS
Design template?

I'm sorry, I misunderstood.

I just went back and created a new platform. I used the template for
"Custom Device" and selected (oops, can't read my notes: Cbitereg?), MFC,
SDK, Display Serial, about 4 fonts, GWE, shell, UI.

I created a blank project, then inserted the files for the sample "hello"
program, in this platform.

I then did a "OS build and sysgen". This was successful until it got to
where it tried to build the hello program, that gave me about a hundred
errors, all of which appear to be MFC library link errors.

I see where the platform template selection is critical to this, and if I
hadn't selected MFC support I'd get these errors, but I do have MFC
selected.

It just occurred to me: When I first ran Win CE 5.0 a couple of weeks ago,
it complained that it couldn't find some include files in a directory which
was in the Visual Studio 2003 package; I use that for another project. So I
set the system environment variable INCLUDE to point to what seemed the
correct place in Win CE 5.0 instead. But I also set LIB at the same time,
and I'll bet it's wrong. Are these needed? What should they be set to?

Unless you really know what you are doing selecting custom device is a bad
idea, you can get into situations where stuff won't build right. Pick an OS
design template that closely matches what you need then select the sub
features in the wizard as necessary. If you still need to add or remove
something you can then do it in the IDE later. It's much easier that way.

The CE build system will set up it's own environment variables setting
global ones for the compiler and linker have no effect.
