I am working my way through the PB 5.0 help files that detail how to develop
an OAL. Almost right away I am finding that I am stuck!

Referring to the help item: "Creating the OAL Sources and MakeFiles" I have
my startup.s, sources, and makefile in the required folder in my platform
tree. However when I follow the item "Building the OAL source Code" and I
type "build -c" I get an error that "build" is not found.

All the research I have done has yet to reveal how to set up my desktop so
that I can proceed through the PB help file instructions to build a minimal
kernel, ready to then go on and work on a BSP.

I would very much appreciate any pointers to documentation that actually has
instructions that work!

Thank you,
Sid.

Thank you Steve; I have just bought that DVD, however I have not come across
anything yet that details creating a BSP from the ground up. I understand
using PB to create a cloned BSP, however this is not what I would like to
do. In order to bootstrap the new BSP one has to use the command line tools
initially and I can't find out how to set the environment to do that. What
instructions I have found refer to wince.bat and it sets up the environment
for the PBWorkspace as well and at this stage I don't have a PBWorkspace.

Unfortunately the BSP that I have that is closest to my hardware will not
clone, it is the Cirrus BSP for the 9315 ARMV4I processor. Otherwise I could
go that route.

Again thanks,
Sid.

This is a chicken and egg problem. You need to have CEC file and create a
PBWorkspace, then you can open a build window that has the environment set
up.

So the 9315 BSP will not clone, so why not simply copy it and make the
necessary changes. All you really need to do to clone a BSP manually is
modify the CEC file to change the BSPPlatformDir name and change the GUIDs.
That is way easier than trying to create the whole thing from scratch.

Developing an OAL - PB 5.0 by Surmeet

Hi all
I am new to Windows CE and I have been given a task to develop an OAL. As a
begineer I am following the steps given in the PB help but I am getting stuck
on step no. 14, after creating the stub routines and creating the Kernel
files when I build the kernel folder I get 100+ errors that the header files
that I included are having errors. Each line is having errors in it. Please
help me on the above mentioned problem?
