VS2012 development driver

The development of wdk drivers under VS12 is cumbersome and requires many options to be set. This article passed the test under win8 + visual studio2012 + wdk7600. 

 

1. Project property configuration

conventional  

  Target file extension: .sys // required

 

VC++ directory

  Include directory C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\inc\wdf\kmdf\1.9 inc\ddk inc\crt inc\api

  Library directory C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\lib\win7\i386 C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\lib\wdf\kmdf\i386\1.9

 

C/C++  

  optimization

    optimize(disable/Od) // optional 

    

  preprocessor        

    WIN32=100;_X86_=1;DBG=1 // Required 

  

  code generation 

      Runtime library: multithreaded debugging (/MTd) or multithreaded (/MT) // recommended 

      buffer security check: no // optional (to avoid error LNK2001: cannot resolve external symbol __security_cookie) 

  

  advanced 

      Calling convention __stdcall(/Gz) //Required 

  

Linker 

  conventional 

     Enable incremental linking: no (/INCREMENTAL:NO) //recommended

  

  enter 

      ntoskrnl.lib // NT-style driver

      Hal.lib // HalXXX functions

      wdm.lib // WDM-style driver

      wdmsec.lib  

      wmilib.lib // WmiXXX functions

      ndis.lib // NdisXXX functions

 

      Ignore all default libraries: yes (/NODEFAULTLIB) //required  

 

  manifest file:

      Generate manifest file No // Required, note that this option must be selected under vs12 to compile successfully

      Enable User Account Control (UAC) No // Required 

      Otherwise there will be fatal error LNK1295: '/MANIFESTUAC' is incompatible with '/DRIVER' specification; do not use '/MANIFESTUAC' when linking   

  

  

  system 

     Subsystem: Console(/SUBSYSTEM:NAIVE) //Required 

     stack reserve size: 4194304 // optional 

     stack commit size: 4096 // optional 

     Driver: Driver(/DRIVER) //Required   

 

  advanced

    Entry point: DriverEntry //Required 

    Target computer: MachineX86 (/MACHINE:X86) //optional

    Random base address: clear // Required, otherwise fatal error will occur LNK1295: "/DYNAMICBASE" is incompatible with "/DRIVER" specification; do not use "/DYNAMICBASE" when linking

 

 

    Data Execution Prevention (DEP): Clear //Required, otherwise fatal error LNK1295: "/NXCOMPAT:NO" is not compatible with "/DRIVER" specification; "/NXCOMPAT:NO" is not used when linking   

 

2. Coding

#include <ntddk.h>

VOID HelloDDKUnload(IN PDRIVER_OBJECT pDriverObject)
{
	KdPrint(("Enter DriverUnload\n"));
	KdPrint(("Leave DriverUnload\n"));
}

NTSTATUS DriverEntry ( IN PDRIVER_OBJECT pDriverObject, IN PUNICODE_STRING pRegistryPath	)
{
	NTSTATUS status;
	status = STATUS_SUCCESS;
	
	KdPrint(("Enter DriverEntry\n"));
	pDriverObject->DriverUnload = HelloDDKUnload;
	KdPrint(("DriverEntry end\n"));
	
	return status;
}

 

 3. Command line compilation

The VS compilation environment setting is cumbersome, and you can directly write a makefile to compile it through the command line.

Prepare two files, makefile and sources, in the current directory.

#Can be copied directly from the wdk installation directory, do not modify
!INCLUDE $(NTMAKEENV)\makefile.def

!if $(FREEBUILD)
MSC_WARNING_LEVEL=/W1
!else
MSC_WARNING_LEVEL=/W3
!endif

 

TARGETNAME = hello
TARGETTYPE = DRIVER
TARGETPATH = x32
INCLUDES = .\

TARGETLIBS = $(DDK_LIB_PATH)\tdi.lib

SOURCES = 	hello.c

 

Bring up the build command line from the start menu, %StartMenu%\Windows Driver Kits\WDK 7600.16385.1\Build Environments\Windows 7

 

WDK provides support for chips such as intel and AMD, and can compile 32-bit or 64-bit drivers. checked is the compilation environment for the debug version, and free is the compilation environment for the release version.

Start the 32-bit compilation environment and run the build -Cz or bld command to generate hello.sys in the x32 directory.
