help with dev environment?

NTFSD
1

I’m looking to build some generic code and link it with some OS specific
code, and I’d like to seperate the 2 into 2 different directories. The
IFS build environment doesn’t seem to like it if i use a …\gen<blah>.c
in my sources.inc file, so i placed a makefile\sources\sources.inc in
each of my os and gen dirs, and then compile all the gen code into a
library and link the osd code against this. Is there a better way to do
this? Will this cause any problems with a kernel driver?

Thanks,
Allan

Build a LIB from one directory and link it to the build of another one.

BUILD/SOURCES will only do one level of directory structure. Thus you can
say “…\what.c” but BUILD will not use “…\BLAH\what.c”. At least I have
never gotten more than "…" to work. Nor can you have a DIRS and a SOURCES
file co-existent in the same directory. Like Max said… build libraries and
link them in a final link.
