When you choose to build a run-time image based on a ship configuration of your OS design, this means that the run-time image is ready to release to customers.
To create a custom ship configuration with no debugging enabled for your OS design, you must copy a release configuration and modify it.
To create a custom configuration
After you create an OS design, from the Build menu in the integrated development environment (IDE), select Configuration Manager.
In the Configuration Manager dialog box, in the Active solution configuration field, choose New.
In the New Solution Configuration dialog box, in the Name field, enter Ship.
In the Copy Settings from field, select the release configuration for your OS design, choose OK to close the dialog box.
In the Configuration Manager dialog box, choose Close to close the dialog box.
From the Project menu, select <OS Design> Properties.
In the Property Pages dialog box, in the Configuration field, select the configuration that you created and then select the Build Options page.
Clear the Enable KITL check box, which clears the Enable CE Target Control Support check box if it is also selected.
This sets
WINCEDEBUG=retail.Verify that the Enable Kernel Debugger check box is cleared.
Select the Enable Ship Build check box.
This sets
WINCESHIP=1.Save your settings and close the dialog box by choosing OK.
You have created and configured a custom ship configuration for your OS design. You can now build your run-time image. For information, see Building a Run-Time Image.
