Stephane,

In WinCE there's always a platform builder involved. Depending on your
target platform, the separate (C/C++) header files may or may not be
available. This depends on how the target platform was built. This
"target platform build" step will most probably be done by some senior
programmer or some software project responsible, who knows which
libraries/drivers are available and which ones aren't on the target
platform.

Now C/C++ header file availability isn't of that much interest to an
Ada programmer. But with the above in mind, I doubt if there can be
any "globally usable" WinCE port available for Ada, as every single
port should be able to provide you the platform library (sub)set which
is appropriate for the specific target platform...

Kind regards,
