Platform Builder contains a variety of command-line tools, which make up the build system, to perform tasks such as creating and building run-time images.
The integrated development environment (IDE) is a thin layer over these tools, so you can use these tools in a command-line prompt build window to work with workspaces.
The following table shows the command-line tools and their functions.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| Build Demo tool (Blddemo.bat) | Calls all tools necessary to create Microsoft Windows CE–based OS functionality, generate source code, copy files to a release directory, and make a run-time image. |
| Build Release Directory tool (Buildrel.bat) | Copies all modules and files required to build the run-time image to a common release directory. |
| Build tool (Build.exe) | Creates executable files for the target device. |
| Cesysgen Batch File (Cesysgen.bat) | Specifies the Windows CE–based modules and functionality for the target device. |
| fMerge Tool (fmerge.exe) | Combines all existing binary image builder (.bib) files into one .bib file, and all registry (.reg) files into one .ini file. |
| Make Binary Image tool (Makeimg.exe) | Creates a run-time image. |
| Master Build tool (Cebuild.bat) | Creates the Windows CE–based modules and functionality and builds source code for each project in an OS design. |
| Set Environment Variable tool (Setenv.bat) | Sets customized developer environment variables. Used by Wince.bat; do not call this tool directly. |
| Sysgen Tool (Sysgen.bat) | Creates the Windows CE–based modules selected in Cesysgen.bat by linking the functionality specified in Cesysgen.bat. |
| Sysgenplatform Tool (Sysgenplatform.bat) | Links the files in your run-time image during the Sysgen phase of the build process. |
