Creating a Custom Ship Configuration

You must copy a retail configuration and modify it in order to create a custom ship configuration for your platform.

To create a custom ship configuration

  1. After you have created a platform, from the Build menu in the integrated development environment (IDE), select Configurations.

  2. In the Configurations dialog box, choose Add.

  3. In the Add Platform Configuration dialog box, in the Configuration field, type Ship.

  4. In the Copy Settings from field, select the release configuration for your platform, choose OK, and then choose Close to close the dialog box.

  5. From the Platform menu, select Settings.

  6. In the Platform Settings dialog box, in the Settings For field, select the ship configuration that you created, and then select the Build Options tab.

  7. Clear the Enable KITL check box, which clears the Enable CE Target Control Support check box.

    This sets WINCEDEBUG=retail.

  8. Verify that the Enable Kernel Debugger check box is cleared.

  9. Select the Enable Ship Build check box.

    This sets WINSHIP=1.

  10. To save your settings and close the dialog box, choose OK.

You have created and configured a custom ship configuration for your platform. You are now ready to build your platform. For information, see Building a Platform.
