CE player compilation

Can anyone tell how to compile CEplayer available with wince .

Hi,

well, you can add this to your winCE image, as another component. Just add
Windows Media Player, maybe SYSGEN_CEPLAYER, but i'm not sure (i don't have
Platform Builder right now).

But, if you want to compile alone, because you need to do some
modifications, look in (case WinCE 6) c:\wince600\public ... search for a
directory called CEPlayer, there are source files. I recommend you to copy
that directory and use sourcefiles in order to create a new project in
VS2005, using option Smart Device, and compile this project alone. There
will be some problems, first, because VS2005 doesn't found some .h files,
look for them in c:\wince600 and add directory's file in your project
properties. Then, you will start to have problems with linker: look in
internet about function with problem plus msdn (for example,
function_with_problem + msdn), so you will have documentation about
function. Then, check about libraries required, for example
library_you_need.lib, and look for it again in you hard disk; it should be
in your SDK directory (c:\wince600\platform\mini2440\... ), don't use
libraries for other platforms than you are using. The, repeat the procedure
done with .h file: add directory where library "lives" in project
properties (in linker options).

You should repeat this steps for many files, but usually are 3 or 4 files.
Then, your compile and link will finish.

Maybe other ways cleaner to do this, but this works for me.

Why do you need compile ceplayer? are you modifing it? do you need video
files in mini2440 or just audio files?

See you!
