Build Driver To Alternate Directory

OSR_Community_User · August 3, 2011, 8:54pm

All,

This is something simple but I cannot get it working.
When I build my driver I would like the build process also dump the files (.sys, .inf) into alternate build directory.

I added to the source file for my driver the following but it doesn’t work:

BUILD_DIR=…\build
WDFCOINST_BASE=WdfCoInstaller
NTTARGETFILE2= \
$(BUILD_DIR)$(O)$(INF_NAME).inf \
$(BUILD_DIR)$(O)$(TARGETNAME).sys \
$(BUILD_DIR)$(O)$(WDFCOINST_BASE).dll \

NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don’t know how to make ‘…\build\objfre_wxp_x86\i386\vjoy.inf’

If someone would be kind enough to give me the lines I need to put into my source file that would be great.

I’d check the documentation on binplace in the WDK help for various ways to perform this task within the build system.

Best of luck with that.

Good advice, bewildering docs.

The documentation is fairly thorough on what needs to be done, for example, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff552922(v=VS.85).aspx .

If there are missing documentation pieces, please use the feedback link to request documentation updates.

I have looked at the documentation, I read it, it made sense, then I tried to apply it, it doesn’t work!
I spend over 1 hour trying to do something simple as that and can not get it working!

The TARGET_DESTINATION macro only handles output for the final build .sys file, but what about .inf file? And maybe other files?

So I was hoping someone else must have done this once upon a time.

OSR_Community_User · August 3, 2011, 9:47pm

The binplace examples don’t do anything.
For example:
PASS0_BINPLACE=\
$(BASEDIR)\redist\wdf$(_BUILDARCH)\WdfCoInstaller01009.dll \

Should deposit WdfConinstaller dll to the build output, it does nothing. I tried variations of BINPLACE command with zero success. I hope someone can point me at my wrong doing.
