makefile.inc ddkbuild+VS2010

Hi all,
I have custom build steps in my makefile.inc: I.e. signing with signtool.
I haven’t found a way yet of propagating any error happening to
ddkbuild and VS2010. In case of an error (i.e. with signing) the build
step just silently fails and the build process continues.
How can I make sure that an error (or a progress indication) is
displayed in the build window of the VS2010 and the build itself is
stopped?
Is ddkbuild really the way to go when building with VS2010?

Thanks,
Hagen.

Well I use it all the time, but I’m biased. Note that the problem is
that the “build process continues” - that isn’t a ddkbuild problem so
much as it is a build.exe (WDK tool) problem. Try the same thing from
the WDK command shell.

Oh and the format for text that is an error is approximately
“error.*[CDLU][0-9]*” using the findstr regex syntax.

So your makefile.inc could test for signing errors and emit something
that matched the error string syntax and then VS might pick it up. or
not.

I’m not a big VS user, but when I have to use it and BUILD together, I tend
to do things this. I find it works better than other options, not any of
them work all that well due to what Mark already said - the problem is
basically BUILD.

Good luck,

mm
