Mobile Apps - BSP build error

Asked By JH

02-Feb-10 12:58 AM

Hi,

I am trying to build a BSP for WinCE 6.0 but failed.  The following are the
steps performed.

(1) Rename the original BSP package
(2) Copy the BSP package with the same name as the above BSP under
C:\WINCE600\PLATFORM
(3) Create a project under C:\WINCE600\OSDesigns using the BSP in (2) and
PDA Device & Mobile Handheld.
(4) Select "Build Current BSP and Subprojects" under Build->Advanced Build
Commands
(5) Output window showed build error message

The BSP in (2) should work because it has been tested before modification.
I have only made minor changes to three files which merged parameter
information for different screen panels.

The following are the error messages.

Have you searched for all Build.err and Build.log files under the
PLATFORM directory and compared the contents of files of the same
directories for (a) build from the original BSP versus (b) build from
the cloned, failing BSP?   Very often one of these log files will
provide you with the clue that you need.

Hi,
You say you do a "build current BSP"? You need to do a Sysgen once for
a new OSDesign.

John:

I am confused.  I agree with Shai, but I do not know how you could have
arrived at those errors, without some compiler and linker errors, by
following your steps.  Maybe Build Current BSP and Subprojects detects that
you did not Sysgen and does it for you.

I also do not know what you did in step 2, your instructions would have ended
with two folders having the same name.  Certainly, you would have had two
PBCXML files with exactly the same content, which can cause problems,
although I do not think that it would cause the problem that you report.

Hi Bruce,

I did "Sysgen" after "Build Current BSP and Subprojects".  The result of
Only "Build Current BSP and Subprojects" resulted in errors.

As for step 2, I copied the BSP package with the same name as the BSP in
step (1) before it was changed.  Sorry, I did not made myself clear.

Okay, be sure to review the blog post that Shai pointed you to.
