[PythonCE] Linker errors building PyWin32 for CE (ARMRel420)

[Jesse Davis]

Salutations,

I'm getting linker errors (3 unresolved external symbols) building
PyWin32.

I followed the instructions on Kashtan's page, so I "nmake all" from
PCbuild\WinCE.  Everything builds fine until nmake reaches
makefile.pywintypes (output included below).  It tries to link
pywintypes.dll but fails to resolve symbols
PyWinMethod_NewWAVEFORMATEXType, PyWAVEFORMATEXType, & PyDEVMODEType,
which are required by PyWinTypesmodule.obj.  The first two symbols can
be found in PyWAVEFORMATEX.cpp, the third in PyDEVMODE.cpp.  So adding
PyWAVEFORMATEX.cpp to makefile.pywintypes takes care of two of the
symbols, but PyDEVMODE.cpp can't compile (output below).  And besides,
why should I have to add things to the makefile?

The compile errors in PyDEVMODE.cpp seem related to differences in the
wingdi.h for Windows & WinCE.  For example, PyDEVMODE.cpp refers to
_devicemodeW.dmPosition.  In the Windows wingdi.h, _devicemodeW has such
a member; in WinCE's wingdi.h, it's absent.  There are many other
members that are absent or have different types in the two headers,
meaning I can't build PyDEVMODE.cpp, so I can't satisfy
PyWinTypesmodule.obj's imports.

However, I imagine others can build PyWin32 without lots of tweaks,
either to makefile.pywintypes or to PyDEVMODE.cpp.  What am I doing
wrong?

Appreciations,
Jesse.
