Good news! Jerome Decoodt found a workaround to get applications working on Windows Mobile 6.1. It seems that you can ask system not to load DLL in high memory :
Danny could please update FAQ and add something like : 19. I get an "Invalid Pocket PC application" when I try to run my program on Windows Mobile 6.1 There is currently an incompatibility between PE loader and DLL generated by cegcc. You can add a DWORD registry entry in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Loader\LoadModuleLow] with key=YourDllName.dll and value=1 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Loader\LoadModuleLow] "YourDllName.dll"=dword:1 On Thu, 28 Aug 2008 10:03:50 +0200, Jérôme Decoodt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > >> I have attached an bz2 archive with sources you provided and two >> "makefile", one for cegcc and the other one for Visual 2005. >> Could you please check we are using same compilation flags. > > Indeed, I was compiling this way : > > /opt/mingw32ce/libexec/gcc/arm-wince-mingw32ce/4.1.0/cc1 -quiet > -D__COREDLL__ -D__MINGW32__ -D__MINGW32CE__ -D__CEGCC_VERSION__ > -idirafter ../include/w32api -idirafter ../../include/w32api testDLL.c > -quiet -dumpbase testDLL.c -auxbase testDLL -version -o testDLL.s > > /opt/mingw32ce/lib/gcc/arm-wince-mingw32ce/4.1.0/../../../../arm-wince-mingw32ce/bin/as > -o testDLL.o testDLL.s > > /opt/mingw32ce/libexec/gcc/arm-wince-mingw32ce/4.1.0/collect2 --shared > -Bdynamic -e DllMain -o testDLL.dll testDLL.o -lcoredll > > These commands come from those printed with arm-wince-mingw32ce-gcc -v > -shared -o testDLL.dll testDLL.c.
