Re: Windows CE 6.0, directory: C:\WINCE600\PBWorkspaces\

[Bruce Eitman [eMVP]]

It seems like your sources file might be wrong. PBWorkspaces is the name
used under WINCE500, the same as WINCE600\OSDesigns. So what does your
sources file contain?

I cannot attach a zip file with all the contents in this forum. Anyway, I
want to understand why there is a PBWorkspace under WINCE500 ... and my
platform builder is for Windows CE 6.0 !!!! it's curious. I never program
with WinCE 5.0 before.

My understanding is the following:
---------------------------------------
The supplier of this driver had before a BSP for WinCE 5.0 for it's hardware.
Now, we want to make it work under WinCE 6.0. My supplier is RTD Embedded
Technology (platform PC-104 with Geode LX 800). The enginneer from RTD says
that it works with WinCE 6.0 (but he is a WinCE 6.0 ROOKIE like me). He
simply adds the "source" as a sub-project and he can build without error. I
did the same using the same source files (using pbpxml).

I "guess" that the project "info" like library directory and header files
directory for the compiler/linker issue has "reference" on the old
directories they use before (in RTD development system)... and they still
have the required files for the compilation. So it works on it's side, he is
LUCKY !

So I am trying to edit right now the source of this project (right-click,
open, the sub-project) in order to change the path.

Does it sounds good for you or there is another issue to think about ?

Who said anything about a zip file, and why would you attach one?

Your sources file is probably about 20-30 lines. Note that "sources" is a
file, not a collection of files.

I found the problem.

Look the following code:

_PROJECTROOT=$(_WINCEROOT)\PBWorkspaces\$(_TGTPROJ)\WINCE500\CME147786CX_x86

WINCEREL=1
RELEASETYPE=LOCAL
_ISVINCPATH=$(_WINCEROOT)\public\common\sdk\inc;
_OEMINCPATH=$(_WINCEROOT)\public\common\oak\inc;$(_WINCEROOT)\public\common\sdk\inc;
TARGETNAME=aDIOLibrary
FILE_VIEW_ROOT_FOLDER= \

FILE_VIEW_RESOURCE_FOLDER= \

FILE_VIEW_INCLUDES_FOLDER= \
aDIOLib_Error.h \
aDIOLib.h \
aDIOLib_Port.h \
aDIOLib_Interrupt.h \

SOURCES= \
aDIOLib.c \
aDIOLib_Port.c \
aDIOLib_Interrupt.c \

TARGETTYPE=DYNLINK
TARGETLIBS= \
$(_PROJECTROOT)\cesysgen\sdk\lib\$(_CPUINDPATH)\coredll.lib \

CDEFINES=$(CDEFINES) -DaDIOLibrary_EXPORTS
FILE_VIEW_PARAMETER_FOLDER= \
aDIOLibrary.bib \
aDIOLibrary.reg \

INCLUDES= \

..\Include\;$(_WINCEROOT)\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\INC\;$(_WINCEROOT)\PUBLIC\COMMON\DDK\INC\ \

WINCE_LMEM_DEBUG=1

=====================

The first line IS the problem. They "re-define" my PROJECTROOT variable with
bad directory (bad value). I only need to remove it to keep my variable as
it is defined.

Thanks for your help.
