compiling for two different binaries

NTDEV
1

Hi,

I have a driver and I want to build the driver for windows XP and 2k and I
want to have different binary file names could I achieve with one source
file.

Is there any way to achieve this.

Any information is helpful.

Thanks,
Kedar.

I would suggest to have only w2k version, and run it on XP and 2k3 too :slight_smile:
Lesser binaries to build, deploy and support.

TARGETNAME=yourdriver$(OSVER) in your sources file. Of course you need to
setup the variable accordingly.

Why do you want different file names? There is no reason you couldn’t
have one binary support both systems. For maintenance purposes, I would
think that would be a preferable solution.
