Static Library rdbsslib.lib linking problems in Kernel Network Redirector Driver

Hi,

I am currently having a lot of linking errors when trying to include RDBSS in my monolithic driver. I included the rdbsslib.lib as an additional dependency and when I build linking errors occur. I tried also including other files such as rxce.lib and copysup.lib and ksecded.lib but with no success. Can someone provide me with information on how to successfully build a monolithic driver that utilises RDBSS please (e.g Build type[win8_x86], Libraries to include, etc…)?

I even looked at samples but with no success.

Regards,
Matthew Muscat

Hi Pete,

These are some of the errors:

Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _FsRtlCopyWrite2@36 referenced in function _RxFastIoWrite@32
Error 2 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _FsRtlCopyRead2@36 referenced in function _RxFastIoRead@32

Sry for the late response.

Regards,
Matthew

What OS version are you building/linking for? Those functions aren’t documented, so they are apparently something internal.

I found two points where this has been discussed previously: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsdesktop/en-US/b560a1f8-cf11-4894-861d-595e21d00242/mini-redirector-link-win8?forum=wdk and https://www.osronline.com/showthread.cfm?link=249215

So, it looks like it is a “known problem”.

Does this work with WDK 10?

I am currently using WDK 8.1 and trying to build for Windows 7 or 8 or 8.1 (32 bit versions) and I had already tried their solutions but with no success. I also have other linking errors such as:

Error 339 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _wcschr referenced in function _TranslateSisFsctlName@16
Error 158 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _memset referenced in function _RxDriverEntry@8
Error 348 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _memmove referenced in function _RxQueryDirectory@16
Error 172 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _memcpy referenced in function _RxLogEventWithAnnotation@28

Copy all ur lib files in your windows system directory and see how it be
haves. You need to link in your environments setting

Thanks fixed. It was a problem in folder permissions in remote server. However, one has to build using Win7 due to missing copysup.lib in Win8 DDK lib directory.

Solution:
Run Visual Studio 2013 as administator
Open Project
Link the following libraries:
$(DDK_LIB_PATH)\rdbsslib.lib
$(DDK_LIB_PATH)\rxce.lib
$(DDK_LIB_PATH)\copysup.lib
$(DDK_LIB_PATH)\ksecdd.lib
Build using Win7 x32 configuration
