I am unable to compile tinypack in visual studio 2005. I need to compile it for pocket-pc ARM/smartphone. First of all there is no sln file in the source. When I create a project and add necessary files, one of the header files is referencing sys/types.h. There is no types.h anywhere in the source.

Please help.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Well, sys/types.h is a standard C header file. If your system is having trouble finding that then it may not be configured properly (although I have no experience building for pocket-pcs).

I have created a solution and project file for Visual C++ 2005 and attached them here. I get a few warnings, but it builds and seems to run fine. The only thing I had to change from the default was to add the WIN32 as a preprocessor definition (and, of course, set the project type as a console app).

Hope this helps...

Hi - your project works fine and I can compile for win 32. I am still not able to compile for smartphone/pocketpc architecture. Is there anyone who can covert this attached solution for ARM/smartphone/pocketpc architecture and/or provide and executable that would work in ARM/pocketpc/smartphone environment.

Hmm, it seems like nobody is familiar with that. I googled a little for "smartphone" and "types.h" and found this. I don't know if it will help, but it sounds like types.h is available if you know where to look. You could also just try commenting out that include and seeing what errors you get (I doubt that much is used from there).
