when i was reading the license that came with the windows mobile 6 compact framework, I noted this:
iii. Distribution Restrictions. You may not
• alter any copyright, trademark or patent notice in the Distributable Code;
• use Microsoft’s trademarks in your programs’ names or in a way that suggests your programs come from or are endorsed by Microsoft;
• distribute Distributable Code to run on a platform other than the Windows Mobile platform;
• include Distributable Code in malicious, deceptive or unlawful programs; or
• modify or distribute the source code of any Distributable Code so that any part of it becomes subject to an Excluded License. An Excluded License is one that requires, as a condition of use, modification or distribution, that
• the code be disclosed or distributed in source code form; or
• others have the right to modify it.

does this mean that any open source apps cannot make use of this?
I'm no lawyer, but I think they are saying you cannot take any source code for the compact framework either by reverse engineering or if they have made it available, and license it yourself. You can do whatever you want with your own source code, and it may use the compact framework, but you can't do something like redistribute the source code of System.Data or some other .net DLL. This was an issue with the development of Mono, anyone working on that framework is not supposed to use a tool like Reflector to look at the disassembled source of .NET libraries, then code their own version of it. For typical development which just uses the framework, you should be fine.
thank you, makes sense I suppose
So this is probably a silly question.
I have this rather complicated app that would be a heck of a lot of work to convert to Java.
It runs in the command line and works fine in Linux.
Trying to run it fails, but x86 bytecode probably isn't very ARM friendly.
Is there a specific way I need to compile the application?
Is it even possible to run it from a console emulator?
Thanks.
Try Android NDK
I am also new to Android Dev ( 15+ years Linux, 10+ years Java, etc.)
I am not an expert but for your purposes you need the "Android NDK" in addition to the "Android SDK" that most developers utilize.
"The Android NDK is a toolset that lets you embed components that make use of native code in your Android applications.
Android applications run in the Dalvik virtual machine. The NDK allows you to implement parts of your applications using native-code languages such as C and C++. "
Basically the tools are needed to cross compile C++ source code for the target ARM environment.
I am prevented from posting the download URL for some bizarre reason, but it is listed under "Native Development Tools" on the left side of the web page for the standard "Android SDK" download.
Yeah that's because you are new. It's a system to prevent spammers from posting URLs.
When you have a couple of posts the restriction will disappear
Anyway; found it, seems to be what I'm looking for.
I'll check it out in the morning.
Big thanks
Dmitry Moskalchukhas written a patch for the ndk to better support c++ see crytax dot net there are posts on google groups android-ndk talking about it
Thxs for the info. I was aware that the NDK did not include all of the libs that desktop Linux/UNIX developers expect. The suggested patched version adds the STL libs back in.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
There are A LOT of libraries missing
I guess I'll just keep it a hosted app.
Thanks for all the input
HEllo people,

Source Code (127.18 MB)
PLEASE NOTE->
I will not be responsible for any bricking of the device while modification and/or addition of values to the Source Code or the Kernel.
What is Source Code?
In computer science, source code is text written using the format and syntax of the programming language that it is being written in. Such a language is specially designed to facilitate the work of computer programmers, who specify the actions to be performed by a computer mostly by writing source code, which can then be automatically translated to binary machine code that the computer can directly read and execute. An interpreter translates to machine code and executes it on the fly, while a compiler only translates to machine code that it stores as executable files; these can then be executed as a separate step.
Most computer applications are distributed in a form that includes executable files, but not their source code, which is useful to a user, programmer, or system administrator who wishes to modify the program or understand how it works.
The source code which constitutes a program is usually held in one or more text files stored on a computer's hard disk; usually these files are carefully arranged into a directory tree, known as a source tree. Source code can also be stored in a database (as is common for stored procedures) or elsewhere.
Source code also appears in books and other media; often in the form of small code snippets, but occasionally complete code bases; a well-known case is the source code of PGP.
The notion of source code may also be taken more broadly, to include machine code and notations in graphical languages, neither of which are textual in nature. An example from an article presented on the annual IEEE conference on Source Code Analysis and Manipulation:[1]
For the purpose of clarity ‘source code’ is taken to mean any fully executable description of a software system. It is therefore so construed as to include machine code, very high level languages and executable graphical representations of systems.[2]
The code base of a programming project is the larger collection of all the source code of all the computer programs which make up the project.
It has become common practice to maintain code bases in version control systems.

The purpose of this thread is to provide a list of desktop apps which have been recompiled to run on hacked Windows RT devices. A secondary purpose is to request or discuss such ports. Listing apps which run without recompilation (.NET 4.x) and providing libraries which are ported and/or known to work are also good uses of the thread. However, major apps, or those expected to lead to significant discussion, should probably get their own thread. Please help keep this one organized.
Please post links to compiled apps for Windows RT desktop, and if possible also link to their source code. I will make minimal testing of the apps before listing them, but nothing extensive; apps may have known or unknown issues, and it's even possible that somebody will link malicious apps here. Use at your own risk.
DO NOT request ports of closed-source applications! It's not possible (unless they're pure .NET 4.x, in which case they don't need to be ported) and you will look like a fool and waste your time. Additionally, at this time, code which requires GCC to build (i.e. can't build under MSVC) is impractical to port.

Thanks all. I'm looking at compiling UniKey (although it will be an old version, as the development 4.x branch is not yet open sourced). I'll also look into ipmsg. Appreciate the links.
EDIT: Ugh. The GPL for UniKey is a lie (ironic, since the author *****es about people violating the GPL with his code... yet doesn't comply with it himself). It relies on a library which is only distributed in binary form, RtfIO. I can probably build the 3.1 version (which is from 2006, and should be pre-RtfIO) since, aside from the occasional piece of truly awful code practices (lots of implicit types and improper use of variable scoping) that may have been permitted by older compilers but don't work in VS 2012, there's nothing difficult about building the app. I could even build 3.6 if the author would release an ARM version of RtfIO... I couldn't legally distribute it under the GPL at that point, but I could build it.
Unless you want me to give 3.1 a shot, you're going to have to ask the author for either the source to RtfIO or an ARM-compiled .LIB file of it.
Can you give a go at a TransmissionBT console as well?

I've been looking into a bittorrent client already.
Transmission, unfortunately, is one of those many open source apps which technically compile on Windows, but only within a GNU-like environment, and in particular it expects to use GCC. While it may be possible to use MinGW to cross-compile for Windows on ARM, that's not the native behavior and will take more investigation.
EDIT: Hadouken, at hdkn.net, appears to be a pure .NET app. It's distributed as a .MSI which doesn't work on ARM< but it may be possible to build it for .NET 4.5 architecture-independent, in which case it should run on Windows RT. It's a BitTorrent client the runs as a Windows service rather than a normal desktop apps, and uses a web interface to control it. Should work fine, though...

It's a BitTorrent client the runs as a Windows service rather than a normal desktop apps, and uses a web interface to control it. Should work fine, though...

http://sourceforge.net/projects/wintransmission/ seems to be a c# port of transmission. less dev than the QT version, but more suitable for us.
I will be taking a look at the effort involved in getting a dev environment working (either monodev or sharpdevelop)
@windowsrtc: I got IPMsg working, it's fine send and receive. I had to remove some platform-specific debug code (I could have written the ARM portion, but was feeling lazy) but it shouldn't matter except that crash logs won't be generated.
Binaries, including installer, are in the smaller ZIP file. Modified source code used to build them is in the _SRC archive.
Also, any pure .net 4.5 app will work on the RT too.
I've gotten Mouse without Borders, a MS-made synergy alternative running great on the Surface.

OK, got a build of Unikey 3.1 here. Better than nothing, right?
VLC - do you think Surface RT has all the OS components required for VLC? I would like mkv support on Surface RT and VLC would be a good step in that direction.
ok... as bad as this will sound... java... don't judge me!
@programabd: I think VLC uses some assembly in its decoders, which will make porting difficult. I know there are ARM build already, do it's possible, but there are lots of thing which build on Windows, and build for ARM, but don't build for WIndows on ARM.
@apatcas: Already looked into it. Getting Java support would give a huge number of apps ready-to-go, and however distasteful I find the language or however bad the browser plugin security is, it would be good to have. Unfortunately, the only ARM-ready versions of Java currently available are for Linux, not Windows. It's possible to port, of course, but it'll be a lot of work.

Haven't they started making their own port through the kickstarter campaign, they're making a windows 8 metro style app first then stating on an Rt version, probably not see it this side of Christmas though

Thanks - I wish they would just bypass the handcuffed Metro environment, and just go for a full port to desktop ARM, but that's pretty unlikely

Thanks all. I'm looking at compiling UniKey (although it will be an old version, as the development 4.x branch is not yet open sourced). I'll also look into ipmsg. Appreciate the links.
EDIT: Ugh. The GPL for UniKey is a lie (ironic, since the author *****es about people violating the GPL with his code... yet doesn't comply with it himself). It relies on a library which is only distributed in binary form, RtfIO. I can probably build the 3.1 version (which is from 2006, and should be pre-RtfIO) since, aside from the occasional piece of truly awful code practices (lots of implicit types and improper use of variable scoping) that may have been permitted by older compilers but don't work in VS 2012, there's nothing difficult about building the app. I could even build 3.6 if the author would release an ARM version of RtfIO... I couldn't legally distribute it under the GPL at that point, but I could build it.
Unless you want me to give 3.1 a shot, you're going to have to ask the author for either the source to RtfIO or an ARM-compiled .LIB file of it.

he leaves no contact information so I think there is no way to ask him for anything. In that case, if only you could help us building the 3.6 version which could be better with the open source on his website, I think 3.1 is enough for use. We, vietnamese, really appreciate your effort. Thank you.

This would be amazing as hard as it might be to get a port. Minecraft, people

finally I found I didnt use it in the right way.I must select a "user"before sending a message and it works.
Hello,
I am posting to begin a thread regarding the native compilation and execution of OpenCL code on an ARM Android device, namely the HTC One M8.
I have used the app Linux Deploy to install a Debian desktop environment alongside Android, sharing the same Linux kernel but supplying different runtime libraries. Additionally, I have installed gcc/g++, Code::Blocks, and the OpenCL ICD and header files necessary to compile a native binary.
My intent is to continue developing a graphics render algorithm, but if I can get a working Android binary from g++ on a GNU toolchain, I would be happy to share generalized source code so that others can do the same with some simplicity.
Currently, I have success compiling a binary with shared libraries for GNU/Linux, but it does not detect the OpenCL devices on my system. I tried statically linking my application, but it refuses to link OpenCL statically.
The way I see it, there are two ways to solve my problem:
1) I assume Debian cannot see devices due to a driver issue, but I could be wrong, and I don't believe appropriate GNU drivers exist at this time. (Please correct me in a response if you know this to be false.) I have talked briefly with some of the folks from the Freedreno project, and it seems the OpenCL compiler is the biggest missing piece between the driver and the hardware. Unfortunately, I do not know if a working driver would even solve the issue in my case.
2) Compile binary with Android shared libraries. This may be most easily done with Eclipse, but I prefer Code::Blocks, so if the libraries could be linked in, then it may be trivial to change IDEs. I suppose it depends entirely on how the NDK handles compilation.
Option 2 is most likely the best course of action. I intend to publish my progress in milestones. Discuss.

Answer to your question = Mint 17.1 Works for me and this should be in general as this has nothing that you created.
