Building a Multilingual Run-time Image (Windows CE 5.0)

After you have created the OS design, as described in Creating a Multilingual OS Design, you must build your run-time image.

To build a multilingual run-time image

From the Build OS menu, choose Sysgen. Make sure that the Copy Files to Release Directory After Build and Make Run-Time Image After Build options are selected.

The build process will take several minutes to complete.
After the building process has completed, from the Build OS menu, choose Open Release Directory.
At the command prompt, type createmui 0409, and then press Enter.

This will copy all the localized resources for locale 0409 to the release directory and create a multiui.bib file, which contains a list of all these resources, in the same directory.
In Windows Explorer navigate to the %_WINCEROOT%\PbWorkspaces\<OS design name>\RelDir\Emulator_X86Release directory and locate the multiui.bib file.
Open multiui.bib using Notepad.
In Notepad, from the Edit menu, choose Select All, and then choose Copy.
In Windows Explorer navigate to the %_WINCEROOT%\PbWorkspaces\<OS design name>\RelDir\Emulator_X86Release directory and locate the common.bib file.
Navigate to the end of the common.bib file.
From the Edit menu, choose Paste to copy the contents of multiui.bib to the end of common.bib.
From the File menu, choose Save to save common.bib.
From the Build OS menu, choose Make Run-Time Image.

The build process will take several minutes to complete.

You will now need to test your run-time image. For instructions on testing your run-time image please see Testing the Multilingual Run-time Image.
