I figure with the total amount of experience on this forum with the build utility, this would be the BEST place to ask this question. Is it possible to get build/nmake to compile .Net applications?
I can already get it to compile my drivers, lib’s, C/C++ DLL’s, and EXE’s, but what about .Net applications. Is it possible to get it to compile those as well? Perusing through the makefile.new suggests that it has SOME support for .Net compilation, but I cant get it to work by adding it to my SOURCES directive. Are there any tricks or is it simply not possible?

Why would you want to do that? It probably can be done, but it is much
easier to create a makefile based build environment on top of both VS
based and WDK based components that uses the WDK tools for WDK based
components and the VS tools for VS based components. What you are trying
to do is the opposite foolishness of the folks trying to get VS or gcc
toolchains to build their drivers. It is square-peg round-hole idiocy.
