Question

Does anyone have a set of instructions for building boost libraries for use on Windows CE? I’ve found some discussions on it:

boost build mailing list

and another one from the boost build mailing list

… but surely someone has written up something more concrete…

Answer 1

There looks to be the source for a batch file here that builds them for CE.

EDIT

I apologize for the long post, but in case the link goes dead again, here’s the batch file:
