Incremental platform builds

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

In PB5.0 IDE we perform incremental builds of our workspace by

1. rightclicking the %_targetplatroot% folder (FileView-tab)
2. selecting the 'Build and Sysgen' option.

This works fine and fast almost everytime. However, when I switch from
one workspace to another and perform the same operation, PB starts
performing a clean build in the %_targetplatroot% folder! Can someone
explain me the logic of this and maybe tell me how to bypass this?

Thanks,

Wesley

Following is the PB output:

Sysgening platform C:\WINCE500\platform\MYPLATFORM
C:\WINCE500\PBWorkspaces\MPA1_5.0>if not "" == "" goto done
C:\WINCE500\PBWorkspaces\MPA1_5.0>set
___OAKROOT=C:\WINCE500\platform\MYPLATFORM\oak

Hi Wesley,

When you switch from a workspace to another which are using the same
platform, your Build Information File is regenerated (.bif file in the
%_targetplatroot% folder) . As this file contains the environment variables
used in the process of building your platform for the specified workspace, a
clean is performed at each switch.

And is needed by a general purpose tool, like the PB GUI.

**IF** you know that the environment between to two workspaces is the same
and doesn't require a rebuild, then you could get familiar with the command
line build tools and use them. But you should at least do a buildrel when
you switch if sharing the same BSP.
