Build on windows

Windows build prerequisites

  1. Install Visual C++ 2010 Express. if you have full edition, that is great. or you can download free Express edition. Click here, If you have other version of Visual C++, instead of 2010. http://www.microsoft.com/express/downloads

  2. Microsoft .NET Framework 4 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17718

  3. Windows Platform SDK v7.1 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279

  4. Windows Driver Development Kit (WDK) v7.1. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=11800

  5. Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Service Pack 1 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=689655b4-c55d-4f9b-9665-2c547e637b70

  6. Install Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=75568aa6-8107-475d-948a-ef22627e57a5

  7. LibJpeg-turbo, I am using 1.3. download libjpeg-turbo-1.3.0-vc64.exe for 64bit, libjpeg-turbo-1.3.0-vc.exe for 32bit. if you just want build driver only, then you do not need LibJpeg-turbo. http://sourceforge.net/projects/libjpeg-turbo/files

Windows build

  1. Change to the root directory and execute our configure script to setup your build environment(suppose libjpeg-turbo installed to c:\libjpeg-turbo): cscript configure.vbs --with-libjpeg=c:\libjpeg-turbo. if you just want build driver only, you do not need LibJpeg, just enter: cscript configure.vbs --driver-only

  2. Change to the root directory of the sources and enter our build shell environment: env.bat

  3. To build a release package, type kmk. This produces the binaries in out\win.x86\release\bin. If you want to build a debug version, enter kmk KBUILD_TYPE=debug. if you want build 64bit version. enter kmk KBUILD_TARGET_ARCH=amd64

I want use other Virtual C++ instead of 2010.

configure.vbs will output two files: AutoConfig.kmk containing information where to find the tools on your system and env.bat, a batch file to setup your environment for building. So you have two choices.

  1. Change configure.vbs to make it can detect your Visual C++ correctly.

  2. Do not run cscript configure.vbs, and manully edit AutoConfig.kmk and env.bat. here is the example of AutoConfig.kmk and evn.bat:

AutoConfig.kmk

    # -*- Makefile -*-
    #
    # Build configuration generated by cscript configure.vbs --with-libjpeg=c:\libjpeg-turbo64
    #
    VBOX_OSE := 1
    PATH_SDK_WINDDK71     := C:/WinDDK/7600.16385.1

    PATH_SDK_WINPSDK71    := C:/PROGRA~1/MICROS~3/Windows/v7.1
    VBOX_WINPSDK          := WINPSDK71
    VBOX_WITH_OPEN_WATCOM :=
    PATH_SDK_LIBJPEG       := C:/libjpeg-turbo64

evn.bat

    @echo off
    rem
    rem Environment setup script generated by cscript configure.vbs --with-libjpeg=c:\libjpeg-turbo64
    rem
