This always worked.

It's documented in the wiki:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Windows_CE_Interface#Using_the_snapshot_add-on_installer

If you want to rebuild LCL yourself then you need to add the operating
system wince and architecture arm in the Build Lazarus dialog. You
need to use the advanced tab for that.

Yes, 2.2.2 is the recommend version.

That was only for manually setting up the interface. Use should use
the add-on installer, unless there is a very good reasion to avoid it.
