Compile and deploy to Windows CE

[Luc4]

Hi! I found many documents about this around, but I still can't understand how the procedure works. I'm working with Windows Vista and I need to compile a Qt application for a device running Windows CE. As far as I can understand, the concept is that I need to compile a version of Qt libraries for Windows CE and store them on my pc. After this, I have to create a project for Visual Studio (I use VS 2008), set it to compile for Windows CE (I have the necessary SDK), and build linking to the Qt libraries I have for Windows CE. Is this correct? After the sources are compiled for the Windows CE platform, I can copy the file to the device and run it, assuming libraries for Qt are correctly installed.
My question is: how do I compile a version of Qt libraries for Windows CE under Windows Vista? And then, when I open my project with Visual Studio, how do I set it so that it links to the correct libraries of Qt compiled for Windows CE? I read this, but I'm really finding it difficult to understand what I need to do: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/windows...omization.html.
Thanks for any advice!

Any idea why?
Thanks!

Have you tried downloading the vs2008 version of qt, and not the sdk? look around for it, it's an exe file in ftp://ftp.trolltech.com
