When you build an OS image, there are a number of utilities that run in order to produce the final result: the process is quite complex and long (although you can save sometime, see here). The following stuff is a raw list of which batches and applications are run when you build an OS image, somehow ordered by calling and with some notes about the tasks performed by the single batch/application
Throughout the paragraphs there are some environment variables; as an example to clarify where they are located on your PC, let’s imagine they are set as:
_PROJECTOAKROOT=D:\Work\ReleaseWorkspace\zypad\Wince600\WL1100_ARMV4I\oak _PROJECTROOT=D:\Work\ReleaseWorkspace\zypad\Wince600\WL1100_ARMV4I PBWORKSPACE=D:\Work\ReleaseWorkspace\zypad\zypad.pbxml
BLDDEMO.BAT
- call %_WINCEROOT%\developr\%USERNAME%\pblddemo.bat if it exists
- if %_BLDDEMO_NUKE% (nuke command line option) call %_PROJECTROOT%\BldNuke.bat
and %_PRIVATEROOT%\bat\BldNuke.bat if they exist - if %_BLDDEMO_CLEAN% (clean/noclean command line option) clean
%_PROJECTROOT%\cesysgen and %_PLATFORMROOT%\cesysgen - * if %_BLDDEMO_CLEANPLAT% (cleanplat/nocleanplat command line option) clean
%_PLATFORMROOT%\target - if they exist, delete
%_PROJECTOAKROOT%\PBPreSysgenCustomBuildActions.bat,
%_PROJECTOAKROOT%\PBPreSysgenProjects.bat,
%_PROJECTOAKROOT%\PBPostSysgenCustomBuildActions.bat
%_PROJECTOAKROOT%\PBPostSysgenProjects.bat - if %PBWORKSPACE% (i.e. a .pbxml file for the workspace exists), create the
PB project specific directories calling ‘pbxmlutils /createfolders’;
create PB project specific build files calling
‘pbxmlutils /generatebuildfiles %_PROJECTOAKROOT%’.
if they exist, call %_PROJECTOAKROOT%\PBPreSysgenCustomBuildActions.bat
and %_PROJECTOAKROOT%\PBPreSysgenProjects.bat - call CEBUILD.BAT with all the relevant command line parameters

%_FLATRELEASEDIR%\SysgenSettings.out
CEBUILD.BAT
- for each entry in %_DEPTREES% call CEBLDTREE.BAT with preproc option (if ‘-q’ is not specified in BLDDEMO.BAT command line)

- if exists %_WINCEROOT%\developr\%USERNAME%\Source invoke BUILD in this
directory
CEBLDTREE.BAT
- call ‘CEBUILD1.BAT public’ on the specified project
- call SYSGEN.BAT on the specified project
SYSGENPLATFORM.BAT
- call %_PROJECTROOT%\oak\misc\CESYSGEN.BAT. Default CESYSGEN.BAT file for
project will invoke %_PUBLICROOT%\cebase\oak\misc\cesysgen.bat - invoke NMAKE preproc or postproc in the specified platform directory.
- Default makefile for platform will include:
$(_WINCEROOT)\public\common\cesysgen\CeSysgenPlatform.mak: this makefile
will set ‘DUMMY’ for TARGETTYPE, etc and will call CEFILTER on
%_TARGETPLATROOT%\FILES\platform.* . The output files will be put in
%_TARGETPLATROOT%\CESYSGEN directory
CEBUILD1.BAT
- invoke BUILD on the specified project
SYSGEN.BAT
- call %_PROJECTROOT%\oak\misc\CESYSGEN.BAT. Default CESYSGEN.BAT file for
project will invoke %_PUBLICROOT%\cebase\oak\misc\cesysgen.bat - for each subdirectory in %_WINCEROOT%\public\common\oak\lib\%_CPUINDPATH% (i.e.
localized resources files) call BLDLIST.BAT which will simply add the locale
to %{{{__LANGIDLIST}}}% - if invoked with ‘preproc’ options:
set COREDLL_COMPONENTS=%COREDLL_COMPONENTS% %COREDLL_REPLACE_COMPONENTS%
set COREDLL_COMPONENTS=%COREDLL_COMPONENTS% %COREDLL_REPLACE%
set COREDLL_REPLACE_COMPONENTS=
set COREDLL_REPLACE= - invoke nmake with the makefile of the specified project
CESYSGEN.BAT
- calls each %_DEPTREES% batch with the ‘preproc’ command line option to clear
project specific environment variables - calls each %_DEPTREES% batch with the ‘pass1’ command line option to add
project specific modules according to SYSGEN variables - calls each %_DEPTREES% batch with the ‘pass2’ command line option to perform
actions on the project which can depend on other project settings (rarely
used: see wceshellfe.bat for an example)
BUILDREL.BAT
- check if %_TGTPROJ%.bif %_TGTPLAT%.bif %_TGTCPU%.bif exist in %_FLATRELEASEDIR%
if they do not exist, it means that the configuration changed from the
latest build. - if requested, clean %_FLATRELEASEDIR%
- create the ‘flag files’ %_TGTPROJ%.bif %_TGTPLAT%.bif %_TGTCPU%.bif
- delete %_PROJECTOAKROOT%\files\PBUserProjects.* if they exist
- generate PBWorkspace localization and project files calling
‘pbxmlutils /generatebuildrelfiles’ - for each entry in %_DEPTREES% call BLDREL1.BAT
- call BLDREL1.BAT platform
- call BLDREL1.BAT platformcommon
- call project specific buildrel if it exists (%_PROJECTOAKROOT%\pbuildrel.bat).
- call platform builder specific buildrel if it exists
(%_PROJECTOAKROOT%\pbpostbuildrel.bat). - call developer specific buildrel if it exists
(%_WINCEROOT%\developr\%USERNAME%\pbuildrel.bat)
BLDREL1.BAT
- copy various files from project directory to %_FLATRELEASEDIR%
MAKEIMG
- call %_WINCEROOT%\public\common\oak\misc\pbpremakeimg.bat which
deletes %_PROJECTOAKROOT%\PBPreMakeImageCustomBuildActions.bat and
%_PROJECTOAKROOT%\PBPostMakeImageCustomBuildActions.bat. - calls pbxmlutils /generatemakeimgfiles %_PROJECTOAKROOT%
- calls %_PROJECTOAKROOT%\PBPreMakeImageCustomBuildActions.bat
- call %_FLATRELEASEDIR%\PreMakeImg.bat if it exists
- run fmerge * nls
- run fmerge * txt
- run cenlscmp to create wince.inf
- call %_FLATRELEASEDIR%\PreFmergeBib.bat if it exists
- run fmerge * bib to create ce.bib
- call %_FLATRELEASEDIR%\PostFmergeBib.bat if it exists
- call %_FLATRELEASEDIR%\PreFmergeReg.bat if it exists
- run fmerge * reg to create reginit.ini
- call %_FLATRELEASEDIR%\PostFmergeReg.bat if it exists
- run regcompr on reginit.ini to create the image registry files
