CE 6 R2: command lines builds via devenv.exe not possible ? - microsoft.public.windowsce.platbuilder

Hello experts, The documentation for Platform Builder for Windows CE 6 R2 mention, that it is possible to perform command line builds of Platform Builder projects through the use of devenv.exe and .pbxml file. According to this url http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xee0c8y7(VS.80).aspx it may be possible to perform build of the project like this Devenv SolutionName /build SolnConfigName [/project ProjName [/projectconfig ProjConfigName]] an example given is devenv "C:\Documents and Settings\someuser\My Documents\Visual Studio\Projects\MySolution\MySolution.sln" /build Debug /project "CSharpWinApp\CSharpWinApp.csproj" /projectconfig Debug So my question is - can we do the same with PB projects ? For example a similar command to make build of some project does not succeed : devenv.exe C:\WINCE600\OSDesigns\CE6_emul_EWP\CE6_emul_EWP.sln /Build Debug /project "CE6_emul_EWP\CE6_emul_EWP.pbxml" Any ideas what's wrong ? The same solution builds fine when CE6_emul_EWP.sln is opened manually through VS2005 PB. Thank you SergeiR

Thanks Bruce, Nice to have, so if there are no other ways, then I tend to conclude that the documentation for VS2005 use of devenv.exe is no longer correct for PB projects.

Hi Bruce, in addition to my earlier reply to your suggestion, I have looked into the sequence of commands from url below, for Windows CE 6 section, and it seems that there is a an error in it, at least for the project I have tried it with. Line 5 set PBWORKSPACE=%PBWORKSPACEROOT%\%__PROJECTNAME__%.pbxml needs to be changed to set PBWORKSPACE=%PBWORKSPACEROOT%\%__PLATFORMNAME__%\%__PROJECTNAME__%.pbxml in order to be able to find .pbxml file under Windows CE 6 folders structure. As a side note, doing blddemo clean will produce OS image, but , unlike devenv.exe /Build .pbxml command , blldemo clean will not execute premakeimg commands nor posmakeimg commands nor any custom build steps, which are included into .pbxml build. That's why I want that, rather than doing sequence of steps before and after blddemo.

Depends on where your pbxml is, doesn't it? I eliminate the redundant directory. blddemo is exactly how VS builds your project, so in fact it does run the BAT files. -- Bruce Eitman (eMVP) Senior Engineer Bruce.Eitman AT Eurotech DOT com My BLOG http://geekswithblogs.net/bruceeitman Eurotech Inc. www.Eurotech.com "SergeiR" <rusakov@cyberrealm.net> wrote in message news:e50gcqcfKHA.2596@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Hi Bruce, > > in addition to my earlier reply to your suggestion, I have looked into the > sequence of commands from url below, for Windows CE 6 section, and it > seems that there is a an error in it, at least for the project I have > tried it with. > Line 5 > set PBWORKSPACE=%PBWORKSPACEROOT%\%__PROJECTNAME__%.pbxml > needs to be changed to > set > PBWORKSPACE=%PBWORKSPACEROOT%\%__PLATFORMNAME__%\%__PROJECTNAME__%.pbxml > in order to be able to find .pbxml file under Windows CE 6 folders > structure. > > > > As a side note, doing blddemo clean will produce OS image, but , unlike > devenv.exe /Build .pbxml command , blldemo clean will not execute > premakeimg commands nor posmakeimg commands nor any custom build steps, > which are included into .pbxml build.

Let me spend a little more time on this: 1. If you check the build output in Visual Studio you will see that when you run Sysgen, the build output starts with running blddemo -q 2. If you then check the makeimg output, you will find that it does run the BAT files that you mention. What you probably didn't expect is that this happens during makeimg, not before and after. -- Bruce Eitman (eMVP) Senior Engineer Bruce.Eitman AT Eurotech DOT com My BLOG http://geekswithblogs.net/bruceeitman Eurotech Inc. www.Eurotech.com "Bruce Eitman [eMVP]" <bruce.eitman.nospam@Eurotech.com.nospam> wrote in message news:%23mn$TmffKHA.5228@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Depends on where your pbxml is, doesn't it?

Andrew: The fact that you thought that you needed to add: REM Go to the platform builder directory cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform Builder\6.00\cepb\bin Suggests to me that your environment is not right before you run this batch file.

Also you spotted my setenv.log... put there precisely for diffing with a log from a VS2005 build window... all the CE related variables and the path are identical, just looking at some of the others to see if they are the problem. Thanks, Andrew.

Bruce, all that is fine with me. I just need to know (and idealy clarify with MS if they are aware of this and if a fix is planned) that the help and documentation, which comes with VS2005 is not right regarding the build using devenv.exe in a command line. That's all. Yes it is possible to split my complicated .sln with a number of different ..pbxml ones in it into several .bat files and work out the command line build of PB that way, and you showed helpful url with an example, but that's not what I am asking about ! I wanted one step solution through the use of existing and refined .sln .pbxml files, and it used to work before, and it is still in VS2005 documentation, but not in reality.

Hi Bruce, Cannot tell you exact date when I tried it last time unfortunately. It was some time after WinCE6 was released officially, and certainly before CE6 R2 was released. So it might have been original CE6 [ maybe with some early QFEs], where command line builds of devenv.exe worked as [still] described in help today. So it is my understanding, unless told otherwise, that Platform Builder of Windows CE6 has lost this capability of command line builds through devenv.exe somewhere before R2, with its help becoming out of date. There is no original CE6 installation available to me today to try it out to clarify.
