Hi--
I'd like to build a WinCE VM. Is there a working eMbedded Visual Tools workspace available somewhere?
'Sorry if this has already been covered; I couldn't find it.
thanks,

"Yasuhiro Kurahara" kurahara@kobe.hp.com recently posted a patch for the 2.7 CE sources to the list under the title
Re: Squeak 2.7 now working on HP Jornada 548
Andreas thought that the diffs would apply to the 2.8 windows sources, as well.
I can send you the diffs if you want, though I haven't tried them yet.
Which VM are you going to try to build? 2.8?
I could stand a MIPS (VR4121) HPC/Pro one if you're going to be compiling it; I have a NEC MobilePro 770 (which has a keyboard, 640x240 64K color touch screen, etc.).
In any event, if you get the 2.8 stuff to compile under the new CE tools, please post the sources somewhere!
I spent the last week building an interface to the libtiff interface. Although not fully tested yet, I've exposed the entire interface and have it to the point you can read tiff files (strips, tiled, scanlines). Also you can write these formats (tiled isn't tested yet). It followed neatly on the work that I did to interface to the MPEGLib so testing actually took longer than the coding.
This Squeak for the Macintosh plugin allows you to decode or encode Forms from/to the TIFF format. Most of the work is done by software from: www.libtiff.org (for tiff) www.ijg.org (for jpeg compression) (JPEGS can be embedded in TIFFs, so this is NOT a general JPEG reader, but maybe one will be forthcoming) www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib (for zip compression) Keep in mind your other TIFF reader software might not support zip or jpeg compression (sigh). Some code, a very very simple example: form _ TIFFFile makeFormFrom: 'adobeGirl.tiff' result _ TIFFFile writeFormAsStrip: form toFile: 'foobar.tiff'.
Since all this code was BUILT for intel machines I'm SURE someone can port the plugin to Intel and Linux based distributions. I've still some work to do with 1 bit forms for example and the Error handling (Error handling at the tiff interface kicks up a debug windows, ugly), but it's time to kick the tires, but beware I'll be changing things with regard to the error handling in a week or so.

Please note because of the LZW compression issue this plugin does NOT contain the LZW compression/decompression. If you require that then you would need to compile your own plugin.
