multiple directory compile with sources

NTDEV
1

hi all,

i have a sources tree (or an implementation of openssl library) that has
really nice written code, but into different directories. so it has aa lot
of subdirectories which themselves have subdirectories and finally code in
all of them. to build this library i need some of these files from each of
these directories.

but sources file ‘sources’ directive doesnt allow me to pull in files from
other directories. so is the solution to have one small sources file in all
the directories i need and build one small library in each directory and
link those together to build a mase library?
or is there another elegant solution to this?

thanks

Are you trying to get openssl into kernel mode? If yes, then why???

If you are trying to build for user space library ( that is what it is meant to be ), I can help you tomorrow by providing some guide line. I had problems building it a few months back, but I know how to get it built in User space.

no user space is wht i intend, but i need to use sources file, so that my
kernel driver and user code all use the same build stripts.

What is that again, I’m missing something …

When you build the openssl libraries ( it is two libraries ), you want them kernel mode libraries or you want them user mode openssl libraries?

In that case, you need to put a sources file in each directory, build
small libraries, and link to them all in the final build.

If that bothers you, you can always copy the files into a single
directory and build it there.

i need the user spaces ones as of now, but i might require the kernel
portion later on.

Sorry for the prev. note, after reading Tim’s note it is clear that you want UserMode but want to have the same build script …

Tim already suggested the way to get around multiple dir levels …

I hope you already build it in user space using their instructions !

If not, look for building openssl for windows in a web search, and you will find some links to build it from command line. IIRC, the workspaces have symbolic links to hdr files, that is not friendly to Visual studios …

yes, but i do not like copying all files into one directory.

ok, howz this…

i make one sources file in each directory, but instead of building it, can I
ask it to generate only the obj files?

so if i can do that, i can ask the TARGETPATH to dump all these objs into
one folder and do hte link from there,

I think that this is the best solution as well, given what BUILD
imposes, but if you wish or need to do something more unconventional
from the point of view of BUILD, you can create hard links to the files
that you need for a given component/build. While this does provide
freedom to arrange as you wish, it can be pretty confusing if you don’t
know what to expect when you look at the source tree, and some source
code control systems (like StarTeam) do not handle links correctly, and
instead treat them as regular files, so what starts as a couple of links
will usually end up at some point as two separate files.

I wouldn’t really recommend doing this unless you need to, and if you’re
working with an existing source tree, sometimes you have to in order to
get BUILD to work with it, and it’s at least better than copying.

Good luck,

mm
