WDK SXS_BUILD

NTDEV

Hi,
Happy Diwali everyone!

Is there any way to turn off SXS_BUILD in WDK?
I downloaded Windows Driver Kit (WDK 6000) and tried to compile a static library that would be used by my driver. It gave me a couple of warnings and then some errors.

c:\winddk\6000\bin\makefile.new(885) : warning U4006: special macro undefined :
‘$(@B).def’
c:\winddk\6000\bin\makefile.new(885) : warning U4006: special macro undefined :
‘$(@B).def’
_NT_TARGET_VERSION SET TO WINXP
errors in directory <my_dir>
NMAKE : U1234: ‘SXS_BUILD’ (c:\winddk\6000\bin\makefile.def) Must specify SXS_ASSEMBLY_LANGUAGE or SXS_ASSEMBLY_LANGUAGE_INDEPENDENT.
warning You may not define MC_WINMETAPATH.

I tried specifying SXS_ASSEMBLY_LANGUAGE to 0409 (after reading Makefile.new comments, this means English US). It then gave me another error:

NMAKE : U1234: ‘SXS_BUILD’ (c:\winddk\6000\bin\makefile.def) You may not specify
SXS_ASSEMBLY_LANGUAGE or SXS_ASSEMBLY_LANGUAGE_INDEPENDENT without SXS_ASSEMBLY
_NAME or SXS_SHORT_ASSEMBLY_NAME.

So I specified SXS_ASSEMBLY_NAME to Microsoft.Windows.Test.Blah (don’t ask me why).
It still didn’t compile? WTH?? Now I am at my wit’s end to get this thing going?
Any help would be highly appreciated!</my_dir>

You need to post your entire “sources” file. You have done something
wrong. Did you specify TARGETTYPE=LIBRARY? Are you using the DDK’s
build environment?

Did you look at the \6000\print\monitors\localui sample? It seems to deal with the problems you are reporting.
