Re: Changing the value of WINCEROOT

I'd try using a secondary directory that's completely clear of all possible
conflicts with some internal assumption of the tools. For example, I would
*not* place the Windows CE root more than one level off the root. Nor would
I use any characters that might be a problem (underscore, for example). I
avoid changing any of the basic configurations of Platform Builder
absolutely as much as possible. Even installing it on a non-default drive
isn't something I'd do without agonizing over whether that might come back
later to bite me. If you're building multiple devices for multiple
customers and you need to always build with this set of QFEs for these guys
and that set for those guys, you may be stuck. If not, just don't do it (I
should have said that right off the bat).

Paul,

Hmm... at first everything seemed to be fine. I copied over my WINCE500
directory to another directory, then when I went to Open Platform Builder,
it
said that it couldn't read my WINCEROOT variable, and I had to change the
variable under Tools>Options>Build>Default OS Build Tree.

Now, after I've done that, I cannot Sysgen under the new directory with
this error:
"NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make
'C:\rwilliamson_view\VehicleDisplay\WINCE500\PBWorkspaces\OrbStar\WINCE500\OrbStar_ARMV4I\cesysgen\oak\lib\ARMV4I\retail\pxa25xufnlib.lib'
"

Additonally, I can't set my WINCEROOT back to C:WINCE500 because PB
tells
me that "The entered path is not a valid build tree path"

I have to say that I'm perplexed!

Thank you,
Roger
