WDK 6001.18001

Question

Hi i was working on windows 2000 ddk . now i am trying to build my code on WDK 6001-18001 - WINDOWS VISTA AND WINDOWS SERVER X86 free build environment.

i am using the following source file

# SOURCES for use with BUILD command

TARGETNAME=kmemserv
TARGETPATH=obj
TARGETTYPE=DRIVER
DRIVERTYPE=WDM
TARGETLIBS=$(DRIVERWORKS)\lib\*\$(DDKBUILDENV)\vdw_wdm.lib 

# Put Win2K DDK specific defines in this section.
!IF "$(LATEST_WIN32_WINNT_VERSION)" == "0x0500"

# Put NT4/Win98 DDK specific defines in this section.
!ELSE

# Need to create the directory for the output in NT4/Win98
! IF [mkdir $(TARGETPATH)\i386\$(DDKBUILDENV)] > 1
! ERROR Failed to create output directory.
! ENDIF

!ENDIF

C_DEFINES=-DNTVERSION='WDM'
# BROWSER_INFO=1
NO_SAFESEH = 1
RCNOFONTMAP=1

INCLUDES=$(DRIVERWORKS)\include;\
   $(DRIVERWORKS)\source;\
   $(DRIVERWORKS)\include\dep_vxd;\
  
SOURCES=Kmemserv.rc Kmemserv.cpp KmemservDevice.cpp

when i try to build, I got the following error

c:\kmemserv\sys\vdw_wdm.lib(cpprt.obj) : warning LNK4210: .CRT section exists; there may be unhandled static initializers or terminators
LINK : error LNK1218: warning treated as error; no output file generated\

Then i added

TARGETLIBS=$(DRIVERWORKS)\lib\*\$(DDKBULDENV)\vdm_wdm.lib\

$(CRT_LIB_PATH)\msvcrt.lib\ 

$(CRT_LIB_PATH)\libcmt.lib\

I got the following error . c:\winddk\6001.18001\bin\verify.src(57) : error U1050: BLD1004 : MSVCRT lib listed explicitly - use USE_MSVCRT=1 (c:\kmemserv\sys)
Stop.

Then i added USE_MSVCRT=1 in the source file . I am getting this error

c:\winddk\6001.18001\bin\makefile.new(3022) : error U1050: USE_MSVCRT not compatible with UMTYPE=nt or ntss
Stop.

can anyone tell me what could be the problem .

Answer 1

Get rid of DriverWorks bu rewriting the driver.  It is not supported any more, and always was full of bugs.  I did an analysis of the source of DriverWorks for a client and stopped when I hit the 5000th bug.

Seriously if you are going forward consider KMDF or UMDF depending on the type of driver this is.

More than likely, DriverWorks does not support the WDK build you are using, which is not surprising since DriverWorks has not been supported since a late SP for XP. Like Don said, throw that pice of crap called DriverWorks into a trash can and use KMDF.
