Re: Post Adding Libs to SDK

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Bruce,
Never mind. I found the SOURCES (was looking in the wrong drive!)
But I hv another question:

If I have a lib called mylib.lib and a header file (exporting funcs) called
mylib.h,
how do I add these to my SOURCES. The example you cite is for a DLL, and I
couldn't follow the same for adding a lib. Could you pls show me?

Thanks,

The SDK is not created during SYSGEN, it is created when you click someplace
(not looking right now) and create the SDK. So anytime between SYSGEN and
building the SDK, you can do whatever you want to do.

Hello,

In CE 6.0, is there a way to add a library to the SDK after an SDK has
been
created (i.e post SYSGEN pahse?)
Basically, I have a lib that was created on CE 5.0 dsign and would like to
include it under the new platform. But my BSP supplier, does not natively
include this lib, although the H/W supports it completely.
So, my question is how can I build my app that worked on CE 5 to use this
lib and work in CE 6 without tearing up the app - my first though was to
include this in the SDK I'm creating for the new platform which is CE
6.0 -
am I right?
So, can I modify some files such that I can add this lib to the newly
created SDK?
For ex: Say my newly created SDK is called SDKce6-1
I have the SDK in the following path:
C:\WINCE600\OSDesigns\OSDesign_Jul08_08\SDKs\SDK1\obj\SDKce6-1
Under which there is:
\Include\ARM
\Lib\ARM

Can I add my lib under this dir? and the header file exported by the lib,
under the include dir? will it work? is it sufficient?
How about modifying Properties.XML? and MSManifest files to include my
LIB?

Would I need to modify CONFIG.BIB/PLATFORM.BIB as well - I dont think
so..?

of course, I don't have to do it the SDK way, if there is any other
path...

Thanks.
