*****************************************
_OBJ_ROOT
Use the _OBJ_ROOT macro to specify the root directory for the objects
subdirectory (specified by the O environment variable). By using _OBJ_ROOT,
you alter the default to allow you to build into a completely different
directory tree. There are many advantages in doing this, including the
ability to separate objects from your source tree and building onto a
different hard drive.
For example, if you were to build out of d:\nt\private\foo, normally the
objects tree would look something like d:\nt\private\foo\obj\i386. By setting
_OBJ_ROOT=f:\build, you would cause the objects tree to appear as
f:\build\foo\obj\i386.
The object path is determined by concatenating _OBJ_ROOT with a subset of the
current directory. This subset is determined by taking the current directory
and parsing out the drive, and BASEDIR, if it exists.
****************************************
It seems that the actual make files from 2600.1106 and the latest DDKs
do not support this macro. Is there a way to get the same build
functionality?
For example, I want to have the driver source files in
C:\src\MyDriver\ and the obj files in
Q:\build\MyDriver\obj*

This doesn’t work. Plain and simple.
Contrary to what the documentation says.
That’s why they removed it from the documentation for newer DDKs.
I confirmed this with the DDK team at WinHEC a year ago.
At this age of computing the problem like this makes me laugh. I just don’t want any crap to be
generated into my source directory. Period.
That’s why I don’t use BUILD.
Yes, I am aware of all claims of my driver build being unsupported, but I just don’t care. I’d be
glad to use Mr.Roddy’s utility to build my drivers from Developer Studio and I will the moment
BUILD supports _OBJ_ROOT.
