Build Tools

Powershell scripts and modules for building Visual Studio based msbuild C/C++ projects, focused on Windows driver projects.

Basic Usage

1. Add this repo as a submodule to a visual studio driver project.
2. From powershell optionally add HTS extensions to the project .vxcproj file using updateProject.
3. Use build to build the project.

Scripts

build

Build a Visual Studio solution or project using the specified environment.

The build can optionally run CodeQL static analysis of the driver source code (-codeql), and create a driver verification log from the results (-dvl).

codeql

Install, and report on, the three CodeQL components used for Windows driver analysis: the CLI, the query packs the driver suites need, and dvl.exe.

codeql.json describes those three, so a project pins its toolchain in one place and otherwise inherits the versions these tools were tested with.

createCab

Creates a CAB file from a list of files.

driverProject

Create a driver project from an existing sample in a local copy of the github repo https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-driver-samples.

signobject

Signs a list of files using signtool.exe and a certificate specified in a json config file.

updateProject

Add HTS extensions to msbuild project file

updatesyms

Update symbol store with binary files

versionfiles

Generate version files for the project.

wdkEnv

Sets up the development environment for the Windows Driver Kit (WDK).
