WINCECPU (Windows CE 5.0)

This macro definition specifies whether your target is dependent on a specific CPU. Build.exe uses WINCECPU to locate the release target and determine whether it is out of date. Build.exe also deletes the release target if it is performing a clean build.

If WINCECPU is set to 1, Build.exe builds the target and places it in the CPU subdirectory specified by _TGTCPU. This results in multiple binaries being built for different CPUs even if the binaries are of the same CPU type. This setting should only be used by low-level software like the kernel, or portions of the HAL.

If WINCECPU is not set, Build.exe places the target that it builds into the CPU subdirectory specified by _CPUINDPATH. This results in a single binary for all CPUs that belong to the same CPU type. Most components, which do not contain CPU-specific code, should be in this category.
