Hi Guys. Has Ruby been ported to Windows CE/ tablet PCs? I’ve searched  
and found nothing current. Sorry if this has been asked before.

Search the list, last week I posted several questions. To summarize: No,  
there is no up-to-date version. There is a branch in the ruby sources  
for ce, but I’ve no luck to getting compile it (there is a missing  
\_WIN32\_WCE property in the makefile. I have no idea how to fix this. I  
set it to 500 = Windows Mobile 5.0 but that results in massive errors in  
my stdlib headers).

There was a binary distribution on

> [ruby-mswince](http://uema2.s8.xrea.com/ruby-mswince/)

but I wasn’t able to run any script as my console doesn’t work.

If I have a little bit of time, I’ll try to run the RubyCLR on MS  
compact framework.

HTH,
