I am glad it works now.

Yes, it's possible. Let's start to solve those problems :-)

I assume you've fulfilled those software requirements.

Yes, it's possible.

Yes, it should fix the problem. But I'd prefer to use notepad, instead
wordpad.

Ups! It seems you've found it's missing in the README.
I've forgot to explain this step.

if you're using eVC++ project files, you have to rename file:

port/cpl_config.h.evc4

to read:

port/cpl_config.h

Hmm, I don't have this file there in the ogr subdir.
cpl_config.h should be renamed as I'm explaining above

That's the problem. I mean, you need to have cpl_config.h renamed as
said above.
You can look into the port/cpl_config.h.evc4 file and you will see
dedicated #if's for errno.

Please, follow my guidelines above related to cpl_config.h and it should
work. Simply, I've forgot to add appropriate instructions to the
wince/README file.

I'll fix it soon when I'm back home after Friday (I'm on small holidays).

What's the problem here?
What is the error message?


Please, first try to build using eVC++ project files with my
instructions how to get cpl_config.h files.
