Adding BIB Information

When you add binary image builder (BIB) information to the implementation for a feature, you provide information that the build system requires to deploy the feature to a run-time image. For information about code that you can add to the BIB Information block, see Binary Image Builder File.

To add BIB information

  1. In the CEC Editor, select Open, select a .cec file to open, and then choose Open.

  2. In the CEC Editor window, select a feature to edit.

  3. From the Insert menu, choose BIB Information, and then choose BIB File.

  4. From the CPUs list, select the CPUs that your feature is supported on, and then choose OK.

    The IDE automatically highlights the new .bib file icon in the CEC Editor window. If the icon is not highlighted, then select the new icon.

  5. From the Insert menu, choose BIB Information, and then choose BIB Record.

  6. In the File Path box, type a path to the directory where your application is located.

    The following example shows the file path for an application called MyFeature, located in the Samples directory of your Windows CE installation. $(_WINCEROOT)\Samples\MyFeature\MyFeature.dll

  7. In the Image Name box, type the name of the dynamic-link library (.dll) or executable (.exe) file that contains your application, and then choose OK.

    For example, if your application is called MyFeature.dll, in the Image Name box, type MyFeature.dll.

  8. From the File menu, choose Save.

You have successfully added BIB information to the feature implementation.
