Building the XenBus Package

First you'll need a device driver build environment for Windows 10. This means:

  • Visual Studio 2015 (Any SKU, including Express or Community)
  • Windows Driver Kit 10

Install Visual Studio first (you only need install MFC for C++) and then the WDK. Set an environment variable called VS to the base of the Visual Studio Installation (e.g. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0) and a variable called KIT to the base of the WDK (e.g. C:\Program Files\Windows Kits\10). Also set an environment variable called SYMBOL_SERVER to point at a location where driver symbols can be stored. This can be local directory e.g. C:\Symbols.

You will also need to acquire the DIFx re-distributable package from one of the older WDKs (as it appears not to be present in WDK10), so that the driver build can copy dpinst.exe into the output. Set the environment variable DPINST_REDIST to the base dpinst directory

  • the directory under which the x86 and x64 sub-directories containing dpinst.exe can be found (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Redist\DIFx\dpinst\EngMui)

Next you'll need a 3.x version of python (which you can get from http://www.python.org). Make sure python.exe is somewhere on your default path.

Now fire up a Command Prompt and navigate to the base of your git repository. At the prompt type:

build.py checked

This will create a debug build of the driver. To create a non-debug build type:

build.py free

Note that Static Driver Verifier is run by default as part of the build process. This can be very time consuming. If you don't want to run the verifier then you can add the 'nosdv' keyword to the end of your command e.g.:

build.py free nosdv
