WDK 7.1.0 ========= The drivers can be built using [Windows Driver Kit 7.1.0]. [Windows Driver Kit 7.1.0]: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11800 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 obj*something* 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
