Public Directory (Windows CE 5.0)
The Public directory contains source for the Windows CE OS designs, including build tools, drivers, and library source files common to all platforms.
**Note **The Platform directory contains the source for each processor type you specify. For more information, see Run-Time Image and OS Directories.
The directories in the Public directory have the same name as Windows CE modules. These directories components that support a specific functionality The following table shows the directories included in the Public directory.
| Directory | File and directory contents |
|---|---|
| CEBASE | Components that support headless-based and display-based devices. |
| Common | Core OS components that are common to all Windows CE OS designs and directories containing platform-independent libraries. These are supplied by Microsoft. |
| DATASYNC | Components that support data synchronization between a Windows-based desktop computer and Windows CE-based portable devices. |
| DCOM | Components that support Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM). |
| DIRECTX | Components that support Microsoft® DirectX®, waveform audio, the DVD-Video API, or Windows Media. |

Because Windows CE modules are in multiple directories, Cesysgen.bat commands include the directory name when setting a module, unless the module is in the Common directory.
The following code example shows the Cesysgen.bat command that would set the control module in Wceshellfe:
WCESHELLFE_MODULES=control
When you build a platform, the Master Build tool (Cebuild.exe) runs the Sysgen tool (Sysgen.bat) and the Build tool (Build.exe) in every directory identified in the _DEPTREES environment variable.
Sysgen.bat creates the modules, implements functionality based on Catalog items in the OS design, and generates the platform header files; Build.exe builds the source code.
To run Sysgen.bat on every directory in your platform without building source code, call the following Sysgen.bat command for every directory in your platform:
sysgen -p <directory>
Alternatively, you can use the following Cebuild.bat command to run Sysgen.bat in all directories specified in _DEPTREES.
cebuild -q
