Hi,

I know it's impossible to develop applications for PPC2002 with EVC4, but
how about static link libraries and dlls?

Thanks,
Nelson

Same story - no.

Long story:

You know wrong. In rare cases a build in 2003 won't run
in 2002 or 2000, but in general it will. This was
discussed not too long ago, and terribly simple. The code
generated is the same (obviously), only the linker may use
a subsystem code that limits what the exe will load on.
I only use evc4 for everything, and everything I write
runs (if I want it to) on an original iPAQ 3650 (PPC 2000),
or even an hpc2000 (I load dlls at runtime). Using external
code (things that reference mfc or atl, for example) may
require using evc3 to compile that/those module(s) that
reference those things, but then you can link that/those
module(s) with your evc4 build just fine and it all works.


Short story:

Sure, usually all comes out fine. If you know what you
need to do, and why, and why it may not, it's a piece of
cake.

According to:

it is possible to build for older platforms with EVC4, I haven't tried
it myself however.

It is *possible*, but it's also possible to compile where it won't run on
older platforms. In fact out of the box, you have to do work to get it to
make 3.0-compatible binaries. It's a heck of a lot easier to just use the
right tool rather that work to get it to be backward compatible. For that
matter it's safer to use eVC 3.0 and move those binaries to a CE 4.x device.
