    \title Windows CE - Working with Custom SDKs

    When working with a custom SDK for Windows CE, Qt provides an easy way
    to add support for it to your development environment. The following is
    a tutorial that covers how to create a specification for Qt on Windows
    CE platforms.

    \tableofcontents

    \section1 Creating a Custom Build Specification

    Create a subdirectory in the \c mkspecs folder of the Qt directory.
    New specifications for Qt/Windows CE following this naming convention:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc.src.wince-customization.qdoc 0

    Using this convention makes it possible for \l{qmake} to identify that
    you are building Qt for Windows CE, and will customize the compilation
    process accordingly.

    Create the files \c qmake.conf and \c qplatformdefs.h inside the new
    specification directory. Take a look at the implementation of the other
    Windows CE specifications included in the \c mkspecs directory to see
    what is required to build Qt/Windows CE successfully.

    \section1 Fine-Tuning Options

    Compared to the desktop versions, Qt/Windows CE needs two additional
    options:

    \list
    \o \bold{CE_SDK} specifies the name of the SDK.
    \o \bold{CE_ARCH} specifies information about the target architecture.
    \endlist

    Following is an example configuration for the Windows Mobile 5 for 
    Pocket PC SDK:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc.src.wince-customization.qdoc 1

    \bold{Note:} \l{qmake} uses this information to build a valid Visual
    Studio project file. You need to ensure that they are identical to the
    configuration of the custom SDK, otherwise you might not be able to
    compile or debug your project with Visual Studio.

    Additionally, most Windows CE SDKs use extra compiler options. These
    can be specified by expanding the \c DEFINES value.

    For example, with Windows Mobile 5 for Pocket PC, the \c DEFINES variable
    is expanded in the following way:

    \title Windows CE - Using shadow builds

    \tableofcontents

    While developing for Windows CE you might want to compile a
    version of Qt for several different platforms and SDKs. In order
    to create those different builds of Qt you do not have to copy the
    whole Qt package or the Qt source. You are able to create multiple
    Qt builds from a single source tree. Such builds are called shadow
    builds.

    Basicly a shadow build is created by calling configure.exe from a
    different directory.

    To make sure that the shadow build compiles correctly it is important that:   
    \list
    \o The original Qt source package is untouched (configure has never been run in the source tree directory).
    \o The shadow build directory is on the same level as the Qt source package. 

     If the Qt package is in \c{C:\Qt\4.4.1} the shadow build
     directory could be \c{C:\Qt\shadowbuild}. A shadow build from a
     directory like \c{C:\shadowbuild} will not compile.

    \o Add the \c{\bin} directory of the shadow build directory to the \c PATH environment variable.
    \endlist

    So lets assume you have installed Qt in \c{C:\Qt\4.4.1} and
    you want to create a shadow build in
    \c{C:\Qt\mobile5-release-shared}:

    \list

    \o First add \c{C:\Qt\mobile5-release-shared\bin} to the \c PATH variable.

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc.src.wince-customization.qdoc 3

    \o Make sure the enviroment variables for your compiler are set.

    Visual Studio includes vcvars32.bat for that purpose - or simply
    use the "Visual Studio Command Prompt" from the Start menu.

    \o Now navigate to your shadow build directory and run configure:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc.src.wince-customization.qdoc 4

    \o
    Now, to build Qt you first have to update your \c{PATH, INCLUDE} and \c LIB
    paths to point to your target platforms. For a default installation
    of the Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK this is done by:    
    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc.src.wince-customization.qdoc 5
    We have provided a convenience script for this called \c{setcepaths}.
    Simply type:    
    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc.src.wince-customization.qdoc 6

    \o
    Then to build the shadow build type:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc.src.wince-customization.qdoc 7

    \o That's all. Now you created a shadow build of Qt in \c{C:\Qt\mobile5-release-shared}.    

    \endlist
