Dirs Files

Dirs Files

Dirs files identify directories that contain source-code files to be included in the build process. When Build.exe finds a Dirs file in the folder in which it is run, it traverses the subdirectories referenced in the Dirs file to build the source code in these subdirectories. Among other things, this mechanism enables you to update parts of a run-time image selectively. If you make changes to the source code in Subprojectl, you can rebuild this subproject selectively by running Build.exe in the Subprojectl directory. You can also exclude directories in the source code tree from the build process by removing the corresponding directory references from the Dirs file, or by using conditional statements.

Dirs files are text files with a straightforward content structure. You can use the DIRS, DIRS_CE, or OPTIONAL_DIRS keyword, and then specify the list of subdirectories on a single line, or on multiple lines if you terminate each line with a backslash to continue on the next line. Directories referenced by using the DIRS keyword are always included in the build process. If you use the DIRS_CE keyword instead, Build.exe only builds the source code if the source code is written specifically for a Windows Embedded CE run-time image. The OPTIONAL_DIRS keyword designates optional directories. Keep in mind, however, that Dirs files can contain only one DIRS directive. Build.exe processes the directories in the order they are listed, so be sure to list prerequisites first. It is also possible to use the wildcard "*" to include all directories.

The following listing, taken from default Windows Embedded CE components, illustrates how to include source code directories in the build process by using Dirs files.

NOTE

Editing Dirs files in Solution Explorer

The Solution Explorer in Visual Studio with Platform Builder for Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2 uses Dirs files to generate a dynamic view of the Windows Embedded CE directory structure in an OS design project. However, you should not add or remove directories in Solution Explorer, because editing Dirs files in Solution Explorer can lead to a changed build order, which can result in build errors that require a second build to resolve.
