Bootloader Nightmare

Hi
I have a bootloader for wince 3.0 c:\wince300\platform\sa11x0bd\ebootne2k,
this compiled and built for wince 3.0 (had to set up a special command
prompt).

I am trying to build the bootloader under wince.net 4.2 and am overwhelemed
with he amount and type of errors being generated. Running build -cfs in
c:\wince300\platofrm\sa11x0bd\ebootne2k generates the following, this is
only a small fraction of the messages

Its a nightmare, it can't seem to find any of the .h files, and there are
code inside data section errors, my head is about to explode. Any help
advice would be very much appreciated

First you need to run the sysgen phase (from the IDE select Build | Generate
headers) to get all the header files.
Next the output "Access Denied" indicates that you have some intermediate
output files as read only. (Probably from erroneously including them in
version control)

The typical culprits as build.dat, build.log, build.err, build.wrn,
sources.gen
before running build -cf you might try the following:
attrib /s -r build.*
attrib /s -r sources.gen

Thank you for your suggestions, I can now build and run my bootloader.
There were a few funnies, SOURCES was using $(_TGTCPUTYPE) which has now
been replaced with $(_TGTCPUFAMILY).

There was also a file util.s which was using _TGTCPU = "SA1100", replaced
with _TGTCPU = "ARMV4".

Boot.bib had nk.exe eboot.exe EBOOT s
Had to change this to nk.exe
$(_WINCEROOT)\ebootne2k.release\eboot.exe EBOOT s

That all I think
