Custom Build (Windows CE 5.0)

With the Custom BuildActions tab on the Platform Settings dialog box, you can assign custom actions and environment variables to projects and files.

To accomplish this, you can enter commands that use syntax similar to that of batch (.bat) files, and that use common environment variables for increased readability and portability. For more information, see Environment Variables.

If you build an OS design copied from another development workstation with a different %_WINCEROOT% environment variable than your development workstation, you must rename <OS Design Name>\%_WINCEROOT%.

For example, suppose that on the original development workstation, %_WINCEROOT% is set to WINCE500, and on your development workstation %_WINCEROOT% is set to <Installation Directory>.

If you copy <OS Design Name>\WINCE500 from the original development workstation to <Installation Directory>\Public on your development workstation, you must rename the OS design directory from %_WINCEROOT%\PBWorkspaces\<OS Design Name>\WINCE500 to %_WINCEROOT%\PBWorkspaces\<OS Design Name>\<Installation Directory>.

For more information, see Specifying Custom Build Actions.
