Hello all,
I just installed the latest build of Lazarus 1.2.6 r46529 FPC 2.6.4
i386-win32-win32/win64.
I'm new to Lazarus and I would like to create my first wince app.
After installing the build, I went to file new project and created the
project.
I did a simple hello world app with Target device WinCe see attached
screenshot.
this is what I get when I compile:

WARNING: unit search path does not exist:
C:\lazarus\lcl\units\i386-wince\wince
WARNING: unit search path does not exist:

You need to install support for the wince target. It's not supplied by
the normal installation.

Also you've set it to i386-wince. Is that intended or did you mean to
select ARM?

Thank you for the reply.
I tried to look for what they called WinCE Addons but I had no luck.
Where do I go to get it support for WinCE target?
as far as selecting i-386 instead of ARM, I thought I did it when  I
set my target platform to WinCE as shown in the screenshot.
Thank you,

Afaik the addons are only for ARM.  i386-wince is too rare to be
prepared as release
I guess.

is there any up to date documentation on how to install winCE addons?
Thank you,

You just download and install the arm wince file from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/files/Win32/2.6.4/

You install it in the same folder as your current fpc install is put
in. In your case that would be C:\lazarus\fpc\2.6.4

Then you select ARM in the processor target and WinCE in OS target for
your project, and it should recompile the LCL(takes a little while)
and your project for WinCE once you build your project.

I always install it to the lazarus folder: C:\lazarus for example, and
it automatically puts the file in the correct subdir.
