+Use the ROM Builder pane to specify commands and a working directory for building a GUI ROM Image. The tool used to build GUI ROM images is called buildrom and can typically be found in your SDK path, for example in the \Symbian\9.1\S60_3rd\Epoc32\tools directory. The tool used to build text shell images is called ROM. The ROM image generated from the ROM building process specifies a base address for the image to run at. This might be an address in RAM or ROM. The image must be downloaded to the device at this address.
+Building a ROM requires that the following are available, or have been successfully created:
+Rom build assembles executable and data files into a ROM image.
+Executables are pre-processed, relocated, and have their imports and exports bound for a ROM image based at some given virtual address. The files, base address of the ROM, and various other parameters are specified by means of the obey file. This is a file of type .oby and is a text file containing statements that specify how the ROM image is to be built. A .oby file can include other files in the same way that files containing C++ source can #include other C++ files. By convention, the included files have the .iby file type. This structure allows flexibility in the way that ROM images are defined.
+NOTE The ROM image will be rebuilt for any target whenever a change to the project occurs; except for WINSCW targets.

ROM Build Command Line | +Enter commands to build the GUI ROM Image. For example, the following sample command is used for building a techview + rom image for a H4 reference board. +buildrom -D_FULL_DEBUG -DRVCT -DSTOP_MODE_DEBUGGING -D_EABI=ARMV5 h4hrp techview -oh4.img |
+
Working Directory | +Specify the working directory for building the ROM Image. Typically, the working directory is the folder where you need to have your rom image built. +Note that your sdk and working directory should be on +the same drive, otherwise some of the rombuild scripts will fail. + |
