You misunderstood. The PILOT_PRECOMPILED_HEADERS_OFF just makes it ignore
the precompiled headers that come with CodeWarrior. Then by having your own
.pch file in the project, it builds and uses a precompiled header within
your project, using exactly the #include's and #define's you put in it.
I have a project with 30 .cpp files. A full rebuild (including compiling
the .pch itself) on a 550MHz P-III takes 6 seconds.
My prefix file (for my Debug target) is named Debug.pch and looks like this:
#define ERROR_CHECK_LEVEL ERROR_CHECK_FULL
#define PILOT_PRECOMIPLED_HEADERS_OFF
#include <PalmOS.h>
// and other global #include headers
// and other global #define's for the project
Then in the C/C++ Language panel, the Prefix File setting is "Debug".
(There is a corresponding setup for the Release target, using Release.pch
with ERROR_CHECK_LEVEL == ERROR_CHECK_NONE.)
Make sure to include the .pch file as a "source" file in the CodeWarrior
project window, even though you don't normally put regular .h header files
there. Having the .pch file as a source file is what tells CW to build the
precompiled header.
This has been working for me for a long time. Novice?! :-)
