PocketMatrix

I'm totally new to WM 5.0 development and just recently downloaded a trial version of VS 2005 Professional and PPC/SmartPhone SDKs. I decided I wanted to try GapiDraw36, but I too am unable to build the samples: after some trouble (this VS 2005 environment sure has a steep learning curve...) I managed to compile them without warnings but the linking always fails. After a while of searching the Web for solutions I came accross GapiDraw351 by chance. Now, if I link the GapiDraw36 samples with the GapiDraw351 libraries the one Sample that I tried built perfectly. It also runs perfectly, both in an emulator and on my WM 5.0 phone.

I would still like to get instructions on how to build the samples using GapiDraw36 libraries, though...

We will release an updated version of GapiDraw 3.6 tomorrow which has the proper WM 5.0 builds included.

Thank you for the new release of GD 3.6 with support for WM 5.0. I am now able to go to a samples directory, double-click on a VS 2005 solution file, and rebuild the whole thing without errors.

However, there is a problem. I get a lot of warnings... . As I wrote above: if I link with the GD 351 library I can rebuild the samples for WM 5.0 with neither errors nor warnings.

Here are the details from the VS 2005 output window. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have picked up the latest evaulation release for 3.6a, double clicked on the VS 2005 solution file in the vs2005-mobile folder, selected the Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK (ARMV4I) configuration, and build. I still have the same problem that nothing is built. The following is the result of the output. It seems that there is no definition for the WM5 configurations. The PocketPC 2003 and Smartphone 2003 configurations builds properly. I have similiar results for all the samples.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Thitsa,

Please re-check that you have indeed installed the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDKs (Smartphone and Pocket PC). If you have, try reinstalling them. This looks like a typical case of missing SDKs.

Cheers
Johan

Thanks Johan!! That did the trick. Silly me. I wasn't aware that I had to download and install the WM5 SDK. I had assumed that it came with VS2005.
