You need wcelibcex, look at luace.h for all functions starting with wceex_
prefix.
ok. So wcelibcex can be a dependency of lua on Windows CE. But the lua source can be hacked so that the compilation with cegcc is possible. So no fork.

luace.c is only needed for the interpreter, for lua.c as I said there's no
main() function in Windows CE so you need something which have WinMain().
all the app that i have written for Windows CE, and compiled with cegcc, use main() and not WinMain(). I guess that gcc is doing something to have in the end WinMain().

Moshi? I've seen some EFL libraries in the file explorer on the video and the
UI looks like it's made using it. Thanks.
The libraries are used by the Enlightenment windows manager on unix. The EFL are the Enlightenment Fundation Libraries. They are fast and lean. I've ported them to Windows (XP and CE). And we need lua (the library). Moshi is a concept of gui that could be used in the openmoko project. It uses the EFL for the gui.
For a tutorial about how to compile them with cegcc (mingw32ce):
http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/wiki/EFLWindowsCE It has been a long time since I compiled them and a lot of things were modified in the svn, so maybe it is not compiling right now. We are working to have an alpha release, so the Windows CE port is a bit on stand by.
