NMAKE : U1073: don't know how to make 'RomImage' ?????

Dear All,

This was my first message to this group.
I am new to WinCE development .

I want to create a boot loader for WinCE 4.0 on X86 platform.
For that I followed the steps given in MSDN help.
When I tried to attempt ""Build your first boot loader executable
(.exe) file"" step given in MSDN i got the error as
""NMAKE : U1073: don't know how to make 'RomImage'""
and i didn't got Eboot.exe file.

What may be the wrong I am doing ??

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Saradhi.

Show us the contents of your sources and makefile. Something is wrong with
one of them.

Right. It looks like either

1. You don't have a makefile.inc in that directory
or
2. You have a makefile.inc but it does not have
RomImage:
romimage boot.bib

Notice that "RomImage:" must be left justified (no spaces in front)
