LnkLaunch / Discussion / Help: help me build

Jason Anderson - 2004-02-25

Thanks for writing this, it sounds like exactly what I need. I only know a little about embedded VC++, though, and I can't get it built.

I suggest reading the file path, parameters, and splash image file name from a file or the registry so you can distribute binaries. This would eliminate my current problem.

When I start eMbedded VC++, it says "This project does not contain any configurations whose platforms are supported by this installation of Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++. You will need to create a new supported configuration before you will be able to build, run, or debug your project."

I went to Build > Configurations... and added one for ARMV4. My target platform is XScale, but I'm not sure which CPU choice is right. When I clicked Close on the Configurations dialog, VC hung. I killed it and tried other combinations of CPU and Debug/Release, but it just hung every time.

I noticed there was a network adapter created when I installed VC, and it has a problem. Could that have something to do with it? If this is out of the scope of this forum, please suggest where I can search.

  Are you using eMbedded VC++ 3.0? LnkLaunch code has only been tested with evc 3.0 -- the compiled binaries have been tested on PPC 2000, 2002, and 2003 Mobile.
  
  Before you compile (rebuild all) select the ARM release option.

  Thanks, that was it. I was using eVC 4.0. I downgraded to 3.0, and it worked.
  
  One note: I had to change StdAfx.h from
  #include <Afxwin.h>
  to
  #include "Afxwin.h"
  
  I have another question. If I use LnkLaunch and wait for my program to fully load, LnkLaunch disappears. Then I use LnkLaunch again, but it starts a second instance of my program. I see you have code to prevent this from happening, but can you give me a hint about how to debug it?
  
  Thanks.

  Never mind, I figured it out. My program changes its title a lot, so LnkLaunch wasn't finding it. I'm making some modifications to write the window handle to a file and use that to check for a running instance.
  
  Apparently, I didn't need to change the Afxwin.h include as I mentioned before. Something else was causing the problem.
