PRB: Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Some Other Languages Fail to Build When Only COUNTRY Var Is Set

ID: Q232901

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows CE Platform Builder, version 2.11

SYMPTOMS

A build of the Windows CE operating system with COUNTRY=japan (or other listed countries) fails at the Makeimg step. No Nk.bin is generated in the release directory.

CAUSE

The cause of the failed build is missing code-page files and registry settings. For Japanese, the missing files are C_932.nls, C_932.ini, and Japanrc.bat. For other languages, the code-page number (for example, 932) is different, as appropriate.

RESOLUTION

Copy these files from a source server at:


~\private\winceos\TOOLS\japan

The file descriptions are as follows:

C_932.nls: Code page (character set) for Japan.

C_932.ini: Registry key update/insert.

Japanrc.bat: Installs the national language support (NLS) file and registry key.

All these files must be in the same directory; it does not matter which one. The .bat file installs all the files in the correct location. Run Japanrc.bat, set the COUNTRY environment variable in your build window, and do a complete build. The Nk.bin file will appear in your %_WINCEROOT%\release directory on successful completion.
