Have you installed STLport?
I recommend it in README file, point 5, because STLport is much better
and complete implementation of STL than the one shipped with eVC++.

Here is some introduction:
http://mateusz.loskot.net/2005/12/25/how-to-use-stlport-with-evc/
it refers to my article on http://www.pocketpcdn.com

With eVC++, I *never* use Microsoft's STL, because it's a real crap
and I always use STLport. The sitaution is better with Visual C++ 8.0,
where STL (and C++ Standard Library) is in much better shape.

BTW, eVC++ is very old compiler, it's from 1998, so I strongly
recommend to move to Visual C++ 8.0.

I'm also going to move completely to Visual C++ 8.0, so I'm inclined to
say I won't be able to maintain eVC++ projects, unless I have some free
Windows box where I can install eVC++ (I'm nervous about mesing my
Windows workstation with eVC++, because I prefer to keep its environment
clean.).


Recently, I've been working on Unit Test Suite for Windows CE,
so in more than a week it should be published.
Currently, I compile GDAL DLL and Unit Tests with VC++ 8.0 and run on
Windows CE 5.0 system with success, but Command Prompt is required (at
least ATM).

Finally, at the beginning of December, when new GDAL release will be
out, you may expect improved GDAL port for Windows CE.
