VNC for Windows CE

So i have some HP ThinClients running several flavors of Windows CE. WinCE 5 and up appears to have VNC included in the image.
WinCE 4 does not. Also having a hard time finding VNC for WinCE.

There is a place on SourceForge that has a Windows CE VNC Server project, but the zip file has about 28 different files in it with no instruction on how to install it on the CE Machine.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wincevncsvr/

From what I read the install package must be in a .cab file or msi.

Any ideas ? Just putting this out there....

Thanks!

Looks like it isn't compiled.

The notes on the web page say to build it with VC++6.... I didn't download the file, so I couldn't tell you exactly what would result from the build. I don't think you would get an installer... you would probably directly get the executable that would (should) be run on CE.

I'm not sure if you need to compile on a CE machine, or if you can build it on your desktop and then copy over. Google compiling windows CE programs or something of the sort.

Also, the version of the program is 0.1 beta so expect it to be very basic and possibly buggy.

The units have x86 Processors, not ARM by the way

You probably still have to cross-compile though.
