Create Targeted Builds (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
A targeted build builds only what has changed in the OS design since the last build. Using targeted builds, you can implement code changes in the Windows Embedded Compact 2013 OS run-time image as quickly as possible. Targeted builds are especially useful when you are repeatedly changing the same code modules.
To perform a targeted build, you must trace the downstream dependencies of what you are building, and the paths of sources files. To find the path of the sources file for a .lib, .dll, or .exe file, search from the command line using findstr /sip library_name sources, or perform a full-text search in Windows Explorer.
If your dependency tree becomes complex (for example, if it contains 10 or more nodes), a targeted build might actually be slower than running the appropriate blddemo command.
