Version 0.10.0 builds with the VLC GCC cross compiler. | |||
For the current builds (trunk), official ScummVM releases use the [http://cegcc.sf.net/ cegcc] GCC cross compiler. We try not to break builds with VS2005 but this can in no way be guaranteed as we do not longer use those tools. With some minor tweaking the code should be able to compile with VS tools too. | |||
Now you may be asking yourselves why we have been through so many compiler changes. There are absolutely critical reasons for switching between them. | |||
For example, the migration from evc to VS is mandatory, as C++ templates introduced | |||

Further, the latest change from our semi-custom VLC GCC port to cegcc is mandated because building dlls which are required by the plugins is broken in the former. Fortunately we do not perceive any more compiler changes in the future. CEGCC is well maintained and even if it is not updated in the future (which seems unlikely) it is a darn good wince cross compiler as it is :-) | |||
