You can manually disable the truncate functionality from the build.
Do that by opening the
db-X.X.X/build_wince/db_config.h
file, and change the line that reads
#define HAVE_FTRUCATE 1to read
#undef HAVE_FTRUNCATE
Making this change disables DB->compact() for btree databases.
The Windows Mobile platform does not have a concept of a working directory. This means that the DB_ARCH_REMOVE and DB_ARCH_ABS flags do not work properly within Windows Mobile, because they rely on having a working directory.
To work around this issue, you can call log_archive with the DB_ARCH_LOG flag, the list of returned file handles will not contain absolute paths. Your application can take this list of files, construct absolute paths, and delete the files.

Berkeley DB relies on a subset of the Windows API, and some standard C library APIs. These are provided by Windows CE. Windows Mobile is built "on top" of Windows CE.

Starting from release 12.1.6.1, it is possible to build Berkeley DB on Windows Embedded Compact 7. Below are tips for the build process:
This is a known bug for the Windows Embedded Compact 7 SDK. A workaround is to change the line 146 in stdlib.h to read:
__checkReturn __bcount(_Size) void * __cdecl _alloca(__in size_t _Size);
This link error is caused by the fact that the Windows Embedded Compact 7 runtime used to link Berkeley DB does not provide the localtime_s() function. A workaround is to add
HAVE_LOCALTIME_S=0
to the proprocessor definitions of the db_sql project. This can be done by right clicking the db_sql project, select Properties->Configuration Properties->C/C++->Preprocessor->Proprocessor Definitions, and append
HAVE_LOCALTIME_S=0
at the end of the list.
This link error happens on Visual Studio 2008, because it cannot understand the subsystem configured for Visual Studio 2005. To fix this error, right click the project reporting this link error, select Properties->Configuration Properties-> Linker->System->SubSystem, and change the value to WindowsCE (/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWSCE).
Used within the Berkeley DB source tree, these functions are actually safe. You can safely ignore these warnings.
The supplied sample applications were developed for the Pocket PC 2003 emulator. They are known to work on real pocket PC devices and later versions of the emulator as well.
The supplied applications are not designed to work with Smartphone devices. The screen size and input mechanisms are not compatible.
The default behavior of Berkeley DB is to use memory mapped files in the environment. Windows Mobile does not allow memory mapped files to be created on flash storage.
There are two workarounds:
