Windows Embedded Compact: ATL Subprojects

Hi folks,

I recently had to convert a Windows Embedded Compact ATL component into a Platform Builder subproject. Before I go into further detail, let me give you a piece of advice:

Don’t do it unless you absolutely have to!

If you choose to ignore my advice, please follow these steps (Windows Embedded CE 6.0 and later):

In your OSDesign:
· Make sure you have selected the Active Template Library (ATL) catalog item (SYSGEN_ATL)

In your sources file:
· Add WINCEATL80=1
· Remove ANY explicit ATL include path form the INCLUDES macro
· For a sysgened project add $(ATL8LIBS) to the TARGETLIBS macro (if you want to link against the debug version of ATL use $(ATL8LIBD) instead)
· For non sysgened projects add $(S_ATL8LIBS) to the TARGETLIBS macro (if you want to link against the debug version of ATL use $(S_ATL8LIBSD) instead)

Have fun!
