Build System Tools (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/5/2010
Platform Builder contains a variety of command-line tools, which make up the build system, to perform tasks such as creating and building run-time images.
The integrated development environment (IDE) is a thin layer over these tools, so you can use these tools in a command-line prompt build window to work with workspaces.
The following table shows the command-line tools and their functions.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
Build Demo Tool (Blddemo.bat) |
Calls all tools necessary to create Windows Embedded CE–based OS functionality, generate source code, copy files to a release directory, and make a run-time image. |
Build Release Directory Tool (Buildrel.bat) |
Copies all modules and files required to build the run-time image to a common release directory. |
Build Tool (Build.exe) |
Creates executable files for the target device. |
Cesysgen Batch File (Cesysgen.bat) |
Specifies the Windows Embedded CE–based modules and functionality for the target device. |
fMerge Tool (fmerge.exe) |
Combines all existing binary image builder (.bib) files into one .bib file, and all registry (.reg) files into one .ini file. |
Make Binary Image Tool (Makeimg.exe) |
Creates a run-time image. |
Master Build Tool (Cebuild.bat) |
Creates the Windows Embedded CE–based modules and functionality and builds source code for each project in an OS design. |
Set Environment Variable Tool (Setenv.bat) |
Sets customized developer environment variables. Used by Wince.bat; do not call this tool directly. |
Sysgen Tool (Sysgen.bat) |
Creates the Windows Embedded CE–based modules selected in Cesysgen.bat by linking the functionality specified in Cesysgen.bat. |
Sysgenplatform Tool (Sysgenplatform.bat) |
Links the files in your run-time image during the Sysgen phase of the build process. |
Windows Embedded CE Build Environment Tool (Wince.bat) |
Sets up the Windows Embedded CE build environment. |
