Disabling COM1 debug output

I am trying to disable debug output on COM1. I searched on the groups
for this and I found some answers. However, applying them doesn't seem
to work.

What I tried to do was to (based on the few posts I found on the
subject) modify public\common\oak\csp\i486\oal\debug.c by setting
ucComPort to 0 right before the switch statement so that it becomes:

pBootArgs->ucComPort = 0;

switch ( pBootArgs->ucComPort ) {
case 1:
IoPortBase = (PUCHAR)COM1_BASE;
break;

[...]

default:
IoPortBase = 0;
break;
}

To build, I did the following:

1. Menu Build -> Open Build Release Directory
(now in the prompt)
2. set wincerel=1
3. cd public\common\oak\csp\i486\oal\
4. build -cf
5. sysgen -p common

Finally, I ran a build image from the IDE.

The changes did not seem to have any effect. Have I missed anything?

Thank you.

Did you do a full rebuild ? Not just rebuild the image...
If you're not sure what happened, look for i486oal.lib
in ..OAK\LIB\RETAIL and/or ..\DEBUG directory.
Has this library been built after you did your modification?

You should also check that Enable DepTree Build is checked
on the Build tab of the PB Tool Options.
