WDK 7.1.0

The drivers can be built using Windows Driver Kit 7.1.0.

Prerequisites

Install the "Build Environments" distributed with the kit, fire up cmd and execute (to target Windows 7/x86):

C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\bin\setenv.bat C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1 fre WIN7 no_oacr

or (to target Windows 7/x86-64):

C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\bin\setenv.bat C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1 fre x64 WIN7 no_oacr

DIY

From the project's root directory, navigate to "km/src/" and execute:

build.exe /cegwZ

This should build every driver, generating the .sys files somewhere in the objsomething directories in the respective drivers' directories. They are not signed though.

Automation

I developed a bunch of batch scripts to automatically build, sign and copy the .sys files to a predefined directory. To use them, execute setenv.bat (can be found in this directory).

Code signing

The binaries are signed using a self-signed certificate issued by "windows7_drivers". This certificate must be stored in the current user's ROOT ("Trusted Root Certification Authorities") store. To generate such a certificate, execute add_cert.bat:

add_cert.bat

To verify it's there, you can use the certmgr.msc utility.

The binaries are signed automatically after they are built, but you can also sign manually by passing the path to a .sys file to sign.bat:

sign.bat C:\workspace\personal\windows7-drivers\km\build\wdk7.1\bin\x64\Release\simple.sys

Building

To build every driver, execute build_drivers.bat:

build_drivers.bat

To build a particular driver, pass the path to the driver's source directory to build_driver.bat:

build_driver.bat C:\workspace\personal\windows7-drivers\km\src\simple

The binaries are copied to "bin/" (under this directory).

Cleaning up

Cleaning up after building a driver includes deleting the log and object files produced during the build as well as purging the binaries from the "bin/" directory.

To clean up after build_drivers.bat, execute clean_drivers.bat:

clean_drivers.bat

To clean up after building a particular driver, pass the driver's source directory to clean_driver.bat:

clean_driver.bat C:\workspace\personal\windows7-drivers\km\src\simple
