The POCO C++ Libraries, as well as our commercial libraries and tools (Fast Infoset, Remoting, Open Service Platform), can now be used for Windows CE development as well. We have created a port of the POCO C++ Libraries to Windows CE 6 based on the current 1.3.7 branch. The port should work on Windows CE 5.x as well, however, testing has only been done on a Windows CE 6 device. There are a few minor restrictions to some POCO features, due to restrictions in the Windows CE operating system (e.g., no support for environment variables, no pipes), but apart from that, almost all libraries can be used.
Starting today, the Windows CE port is available to our support subscription customers and sponsors of the POCO C++ Libraries project upon request. If you’re not yet a support customer, you can become one here.
More information about the Windows CE port is available here.
