Run a Complete Build (Compact 7)

3/12/2014

Perform the following steps to run a complete build of your OS design.

To run a complete build

  • In Visual Studio 2008, on the Build menu, click Build Solution.

Platform Builder runs command-line tools to perform the build steps. For more information, see The Build System.

You can run a variety of build commands from the Platform Builder IDE. The most frequently used build options found on the Build menu are listed here.

  • Build Solution
    Runs the complete build process. This option is useful when you build your OS design for the first time.
  • Rebuild Solution
    Deletes the contents of $(SG_OUTPUT_ROOT), the SYSGEN output root directory, before executing the build process from start to finish. This option is useful if you have already built your OS design but have changed catalog items.
  • Build Current BSP and Subprojects
    Found under Advanced Build Commands, this command starts the build at the build platform step, foregoing the Sysgen OS step. If you have already run Build Solution once and have not changed catalog items, you can use this option to save time.

For information about how to run a targeted build, see Run a Targeted Build.
