Build Using the Command Line (Compact 2013)

  • Article

3/26/2014

Platform Builder includes command-line tools that serve as the foundation for the integrated development environment (IDE). These tools make up the build system that the IDE uses to create, customize, and build a run-time image of your Windows Embedded Compact OS design. The Build Demo Tool (Blddemo.bat) is one of these tools.

If you prefer to work in a command-line environment, you can use BldDemo.bat to run the same commands as those on the Build menu in Platform Builder.

To run a build command in a build window

  1. In Visual Studio, open your OS design.

  2. On the Build menu, click Open Release Directory in Build Window. The build window opens at the path location of your OS design.

  3. In the build window, run one of the build commands.

For information about the available build system commands, see Select the Appropriate Build Command.
