about sources file

Hi, dear all,

in the win ce .net help doc says :

============================================

Conditional statements in sources files are not supported.
The following code example shows that Build.exe ignores
the first, second, fourth, and sixth lines, and appends
the SOURCES macro twice.
# Bad example
!IF "$(LOCALE)" == "0409"
SOURCES= $(SOURCES) us-src.c
!ELSE
SOURCES= $(SOURCES) inter-src.c
!ENDIF

====================================

However, !IF and !ELSE is used in every sample source
files. for example :

===================================

DOSYSGEN=1

!IFDEF DOSYSGEN

TARGETNAME = KBDHID_LIB
TARGETTYPE = LIBRARY
TARGETDEFNAME = KBDHID

DEFFILE=$(TARGETDEFNAME).def
WINCETARGETFILE0=$(_COMMONOAKROOT)\lib\$(_CPUINDPATH)
\$(TARGETDEFNAME).def

!ELSE

TARGETNAME = KBDHID
TARGETTYPE = DYNLINK

TARGETLIBS = \
$(_COMMONSDKROOT)\lib\$(_CPUINDPATH)\coredll.lib \

DLLENTRY = DllEntry

!ENDIF

SOURCES= \
kbdhid.cpp \
kbd.cpp \

=======================================

What is this going on?
Is this the reason that I only get KBDHID_LIB.lib, but
doesn't get KBDHID.dll?
But it seems not.
Help, I just can't get my kbdhid.dll

The documentation is correct. It's just not entirely clear that it's
exclusively limited to the SROURCES macro and not to SOURCES files in
general.
Thus the sample:
# Bad example
!IF "$(LOCALE)" == "0409"
SOURCES= $(SOURCES) us-src.c
!ELSE
SOURCES= $(SOURCES) inter-src.c
!ENDIF

In this, bad, sample the settings are trying to create a conditional list of
files to compile. That won't work. However anywhere else the conditionals
are perfectly fine.
