a question in DDK sample

NTDEV
1

Hi,
Does anybody use the DDK sample “classpnp” before (in DDK
src\storage\class\classpnp directory)? I can not figure out how
the class.def is generated in this sample. Apparently, this
def file is automaticlly generated during the compiling.
There is one build command in sources file:

DLLDEF=$(O)\class.def

It looks like this command controls the def file generation. But
any change in this line (e. g. using different file name) will
give a compiling error:

don’t know how to make ‘classpnp.def’

Can anyone tell me why only “class.def” can be used in here? How can
I use other file name as def file name? Any info will be appreciated.

Thanks

did you rename class.src to classpnp.src when you changed the DLLDEF
line in sources?

See the explanation of DLLDEF in the .NET DDK. Classpnp uses class.src to
generate the ‘.def’ file, and that relationship is implicit through the
existance of class.src and the line you cite in the sources file.

Why are you trying to change this anyway? If you are building your own
modified classpnp, that might be the wrong way to go. Generally you want to
use the supplied classpnp

Thanks all. It works now.
The class.src file is ONLY one file that I DID NOT look at.

BTW, I didn’t want to change the classpnp in this way. I just want
to figure out how to build a kernel dll so that I can wrap my
kernel functions into a kernel dll to let other drivers share them.

Thanks
