Hello. I am working on porting the latest version of Perl to Windows CE 5.0, and things are going reasonably well. But the actual platform I'm building for isn't a Pocket PC or anything like that... it's an embedded device with no screen. So when I try to compile a function that depends on GWES (the Graphics, Windowing and Events Subsystem), it fails, because I don't want to include those parts of the OS in Platform Builder. A lot of these functions are there to support Perl/Tk, and I can just #ifdef them out for my build. But what #define should I use? Should I create a new #define, named something like WINCE_HAS_GWES? Should I use one of the SYSGEN_ variables, and hope that people are using a command prompt where those are set?
