Hi guys, I've finished importing into svn a rshd implementation for Windows CE. You'll find it under cegcc/tools/.
If you're interested in building it, it depends on PipeLib, a new lib + driver combo for Windows CE that provides a CreatePipe function for Windows CE, similar to the desktop version - Pipe ends are regular files. The driver doesn't need any special installation, just copy it to \Windows\ on the device. It gets activated on first usage, and deactivated on last handle closed, so to remove it, just be sure there isn't any app running with a pipe open, and just delete the dll. The rshd demon is only basically tested, but I intend to use it frequently. I now need a few basic unix commands like rm/mkdir/cp, ported to WinCE. I'll probably copy/port the ush shell from GNUWINCE. Once I've proved myself that rshd+PipeLib is stable, I'll upload sources and binaries at the download page. Running PocketCMD.exe through rshd doesn't work correctly. PocketCMD.exe keeps printing out the prompt repeatedly. I guess it is hardcoded to have stdout redirected to the CON: devices - it could be a bug. I think there is a bug in PocketConsole where if you block reading from fileno(stdin) with ReadFile in a thread other than the main thread, and the main thread kills this reader thread with TerminateThread, the CON: device will not be released. I get zombie consoles with the PipeLib tester, if I kill the child process. If someone ever tries this and finds a bug in PipeLib that triggers this, I'll buy him a beer and a cookie. ;) I'm doing these tools because they enable a better integration with the dejagnu testsuite - used by binutils, gdb and gcc. Currently I'm using a Cygwin port of the synce tools, but they are a bit limiting.
