Vs 2012 & driver build

NTDEV
1

Well, I just installed the vs 2012 RC, including the wdk. Converted some
sources ( build entities) to vs solutions, loaded into the IDE, and
compiled, still I see the problems - The include path (C:\Program Files
(x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\ ) is from a fresh install today, so something wrong
I think!

Also if I go to a new project and try to use boilerplate code using KMDF
template, then try to build - It is the same problem.

You are mixing and matching SDKs , not the path to the header which is the w7 kit. You need to use the w8sdk only when using the w8 wdk.

given the copyright date and ver number, looks like you are picking up the win7 tools too

Thanks Doron,

So it seems like vs2012 picking up ( by itself) whatever sdk is already installed??. I did install the w8 sdk ( I think that is what I was doing, let me check :). If it is installed then I would assume that there is an _implied order of installation, meaning - install the sdk(s) then vs2012??? . Correct me…

Vs2012 pro and higher installs the w8 sdk as a part of the install. Look at the default tool and include dirs in the vs options as well as what is set in the project. Also check your PATH env var, maybe it has the win7 sdk paths set in it globally

Never mind, it is still somewhere there - but not in PATH global env var.
Out of all the std. env variables ( not with the old WDK env), only one
place I see sdk is -

VSSDK110Install=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VSSDK\

Also sdk 8 is installed in -

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0

And only folder underneath is C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v8.0\ExtensionSDKs\ < a bunch of folder not like the previous
sdks>

Let me dig a bit, to see where it is included from -

Vs2012 pro and higher installs the w8 sdk as a part of the install. Look at
the default tool and include dirs in the vs options as well as what is set
in the project. Also check your PATH env var, maybe it has the win7 sdk
paths set in it globally

Thanks Doron,

So it seems like vs2012 picking up ( by itself) whatever sdk is already
installed??. I did install the w8 sdk ( I think that is what I was doing,
let me check :). If it is installed then I would assume that there is an
_implied order of installation, meaning - install the sdk(s) then vs2012???
. Correct me…

Well, I just installed the vs 2012 RC, including the wdk. Converted some
sources ( build entities) to vs solutions, loaded into the IDE, and
compiled, still I see the problems - The include path (C:\Program Files
(x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\ ) is from a fresh install today, so something wrong
I think!

Also if I go to a new project and try to use boilerplate code using KMDF
template, then try to build - It is the same problem.

Finally I got to the point, where I can build boiler plate code =
generated using template ( in this case ndis filter ) -

I don’t remember the sequence that VS use to resolve the paths ( =
perhaps: project property variables/macros, env.vars, vcvars.bat that =
probes registry - in that order ).=20

I’ve seen it says, we can not use any old style ddk environment, so =
while I build the project using template, not sure why it tries to =
include the windows 7 sdks paths ( bin/include/lib). I did have the =
~\windows kits\8.0 path that have been there after I installed VS2012 ( =
version wise 11 ) RC. This VS2012 RC Pro

So I crafted those paths by hand using the project properties. I had to =
hand craft c:\Program FIles(x86)\WindowsKits\8.0\inlcude\<[ km | shared =
], in addition to just the include dir. Then I disable the Inherit from =
parent or project defaults. For the lib & bin, I just need the =
c:\Program FIles(x86)\WindowsKits\8.0[lib | bin].

I’m sure there is a more compact way to do this ( since, I had to do =
this for every build type:Vista; Windows 7 etc.). This is just to get =
familiar with the new VS environment. Also note that any installation of =
sdk should update the PATH variable. In the past, newer version’s path =
used to come before. But in my case, I don’t see it. Not sure what is =
it? I don’t use much of SDKs in my projects, so I did not pay attention =
when windows 7 sdk being installed.

Next step would be to apply the conversion to my actual sources based =
projects, and bring them in to VS2012.

My guess is that you have the Win 7 SDK in your system or user
environment variables. If you start an empty command line and do “set
INCLUDE” and “set LIB”, do you see the SDK paths?

Tim,

First thing I did is to open up a plain command line, then issue set >
env.txt

Then search the txt ( either on notepad or grep ). No traces of 7 sdks. That
would have been easier actually to fix it. Only one varialble I mentioned
earlier has VSSDK or something like that. I also briefly checked the
VCVARS.BAT file. As I said, I forgot the precedence of search when VS IDE is
invoked, and to try out the properties under project, seemed to work.

If the idea is to have a project file with *.vxp ( or whatever extension),
and build it either from IDE or msbuild, then it beats me why a template
based project would have sdk 7 path as first preference. Since path and
other env vars don’t have any trace, I suspect that vcvars.bat pulls it in
from registry. But then again, I had the sdk 8 standalone downloaded as
separate install, then I installed the standalone downloaded version. This
did not seem to update the env variables, at least not visible.

In summary, I don’t know the reason. But if I change the setting using the
project properties, it builds fine.

Comparatively, In the past we all used to install multiple versions of SDKs,
the PATH and other variables will have all the versions installed in reverse
order, so the current one is always found first.

At any rate, if anyone gives me some insight, that would be great…

One other thing I just noticed is the following - ( msbuild.exe missing
???). Is it because of RC ( trial version???)

Tim,

First thing I did is to open up a plain command line, then issue set >
env.txt

Then search the txt ( either on notepad or grep ). No traces of 7 sdks. That
would have been easier actually to fix it. Only one varialble I mentioned
earlier has VSSDK or something like that. I also briefly checked the
VCVARS.BAT file. As I said, I forgot the precedence of search when VS IDE is
invoked, and to try out the properties under project, seemed to work.

If the idea is to have a project file with *.vxp ( or whatever extension),
and build it either from IDE or msbuild, then it beats me why a template
based project would have sdk 7 path as first preference. Since path and
other env vars don't have any trace, I suspect that vcvars.bat pulls it in
from registry. But then again, I had the sdk 8 standalone downloaded as
separate install, then I installed the standalone downloaded version. This
did not seem to update the env variables, at least not visible.

In summary, I don't know the reason. But if I change the setting using the
project properties, it builds fine.

Comparatively, In the past we all used to install multiple versions of SDKs,
the PATH and other variables will have all the versions installed in reverse
order, so the current one is always found first.

At any rate, if anyone gives me some insight, that would be great...

-pro

My guess is that you have the Win 7 SDK in your system or user environment
variables. If you start an empty command line and do "set INCLUDE" and "set
LIB", do you see the SDK paths?

I converted one of the old project ( sources based on wdk 7), conversion
produced a sln and a project file -

When I try to load, it says, project requires user input ( at the Project
explorer view of vs2012 ).

Q 1: Any output files in the folder I should look
Q2: Any doc link I can use to bootstrap myself
Q3: Does it matter what msbuild.exe I use. I’m using 4.0 that seems to be
the latest .NET framework with msbuild.exe?

Thx

Msbuild is at 4.5, not 4.0. what user input is required? I have never seen that prompt

The “user input is required” is showing up in the Project explorer ( after

was expecting somewhere I will see error.
So under the project the lines comes up. The drivername(load failed) tab has
a Turkish blue bang :slight_smile:
