4) Latest version
-----------------

You can export or checkout the latest version with 
SubVersion (http://subversion.tigris.org) from the repository:

http://svn.corecodec.org/tcpmp/trunk

4) WinCE Compiling Info
-----------------
What you need for compiling:
* eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 (+SP4) (http://download.microsoft.com)

additionaly for AMR decoder:
* AMR reference code from: 
  http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/26_series/26.104/26104-610.zip
  http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/26_series/26.204/26204-600.zip

additionaly for x86 or emulator build:
* nasm - The Netwide Assembler (http://nasm.sourceforge.net)

additionaly for batch building (build.bat) you need:
* eMbedded Visual Tools 3.0 - 2002 Edition (EVC3)
* GCC ARM cross compiler (see crossgcc.txt)
* Smartphone 2002 SDK (included in EVC3)
* EZSETUP (http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/ezsetup/?en)
* UPX (http://upx.sourceforge.net/)
* tar,zip

For the release version I use a special mixture enviroment
to get the best code. I use EVC3 with armasm.exe from EVC4 (wce420\bin)
and GCC ARM cross compiler for some codec parts. 

EVC compiling settings (if project files are recreated)
* warning level 1
* for release: optimizations = maximize speed (except MIPS common.dll which should be default!)
* for dlls define: <NAME>_EXPORTS
* check 'changelog' in library directoies for other defines
* insert '../' before output file name for all player projects
* linker: /stack:0x20000

5) Palm Compiling info

For the non plugin version (Makefile) you will need the 
official prc-tools, pilrc, make, gcc packages (gcc needed to compile some
tools helping compilation on desktop)

Additionally for the official plugin version (Makeplugin) 
you need a modified gcc. Check cross-compile subdirectory 
for details and binutils,gcc patches.
