Taking backup/restoration of wince projects.

Hi,
I have created an wince platform and created 3 projects (one
application, one DLL, one Static Library).

Each one of these sources are placed in different part of my system.

I have compiled the platform & the projects and tested. its working.


Now, i need to transfer these projects to my collegue. i copied all
the sources and the platform builder created files for my platform.

Now, at my collegues machine, if i try to rebuild all. it is giving me
errors.


i think it is trying to located files with a path name (which was
valid for my machine). but not for my friend's machine.


I also tried. creating a new platform and trying to add existing
project (.pbp) files.

it does not work either.

How does one take backup & restoration in WINCE.



Is there a way of doing this ?.

What errors exactly? Where did you put the projects? Did you use hard coded
paths when you created them or the various path environment vars used by the
build system?

Ok - The situation is like this -


MY friend developed an driver (dll). using the WinCE Platform builder
as a part of his platform.

while building the dll he has stored the dll sources in
C:\driver_sources.


Now i wanted to copy the same project (.pbw) into my system.

when i copy it. it looks for the driver_sources (C:\driver_sources).
which does not exists on my system. (May be i want to store it
somewhere else).

SO, when i give rebuild all -> i get an error saying file is found
found at C:\driver_sources


I just wanted to ask - suppose you want to take backup and restore. how
should one go about it.

There should be some simple way of doing it.


Please Advice,

There is a simple way. Don't hard code the locations of the projects in the
workspace. If you keep them WITHIN the normal CE build tree you can use
paths relative to the various build environment variables. Something HAS to
tell the system where to find the projects.
