+Unfortunately, Visual Studio 2005, required to build Windows Mobile 5.0 applications,

+When you have converted the wxWidgets workspace, edit the configuration properties

+each library path. For example: {\tt ..\$(PlatformName)\$(ConfigurationName)\wx_mono.lib}.

+Library Directories property. Also change the Linker/Input/Additional Dependencies

+(since the library names in the wxWidgets workspace were changed by VS 2005).

+Alternately, you could could edit all the names to be identical to the original eVC++
+names, but this will probably be more fiddly.
