  • Article

1/6/2010

When you use the Sources File Editor to display the properties of a subproject, this tab displays general settings specific to user-created subprojects. You can configure these settings according to your needs during the development process.

For more information about this dialog box, see Subproject Settings Dialog Box.

  • .def File
    Specifies a name for the module-definition (.def) file.

    This overrides the default path, file name, and file name extension.

  • Custom Variables
    Specifies custom variables that the project uses.
  • Executable Base Address
    Specifies the base address in memory for an executable (.exe) file, which is sent to the linker.
  • Generate Code File
    Specifies that the compiler is used to create a code (.cod) file.
  • Local Memory Debugging
    Specifies whether to enable memory allocation debugging for heap memory.
  • Release Type
    Specifies the final location of binaries and libraries after they are built.

  • Ship Build
    Specifies whether to remove debug messages and provide limited support for debugging.

    To enable a ship build, the environment variable WINCEDEBUG must also be set to RETAIL.

  • Target .def Name
    Specifies the file name used when a module-definition (.def) file is preprocessed and then placed in the release directory.
  • Target .pdb Name
    Specifies the path, file name, and file type of the target program database (.pdb) file. By default, .pdb files are placed in the release directory.

  • Target Name
    Specifies the target name of the subproject.

    Note

    If you change the Target Name setting, you must also change the corresponding entry in Project.bib. Otherwise you might encounter unexpected issues when you build your subproject.

  • Target OS
    Specifies the OS that supports the run-time image.
  • Target Type
    Specifies the type of file you want to build.
  • Warning Level
    Determines the level of warnings that the compiler displays.
  • Warnings as Error
    Specifies that the compiler treats warnings as errors.
