Build Phidget21
•
The most popular programming languages in Linux are C/C++ and Java.
Notes:
Many Linux systems are now built with unsupported third party drivers. It may be necessary to uninstall these
drivers for our libraries to work properly.
Phidget21 for Linux is a user-space library. Applications typically have to be run as root, or udev/hotplug must be
configured to give permissions when the Phidget is plugged in.
If you are using Windows Mobile/CE 5.0 or 6.0
Go to

Download x86, ARMV4I or MIPSII, depending on the platform you are using. Mini-itx and ICOP systems will be x86,
and most mobile devices, including XScale based systems will run the ARMV4I.
The CE libraries are distributed in .CAB format. Windows Mobile/CE is able to directly install .CAB files.
The most popular languages are C/C++, .NET Compact Framework (VB.NET and C#). A desktop version of Visual
Studio can usually be configured to target your Windows Mobile Platform, whether you are compiling to machine
code or the .NET Compact Framework.
