Title: Build WDM binary - get .EXE instead??
Post by: Astro on January 19, 2010, 12:35:54 AM

Hi,

Maybe I just need to rename the file, but when I build with the following options:

c:\masm32\bin\ml /c /coff /Cp %1.asm
c:\masm32\bin\link /DRIVER:WDM /SUBSYSTEM:NATIVE /ENTRY:DriverEntry /LIBPATH:c:\masm32\lib %1.obj

I get an .EXE out instead. Is this correct? I need .SYS .

Best regards,
Robin.

:dance:
.EXE is right, but .SYS is a old name.

Sfloppy.sys
config.sys

so, SYS is a really good name. anyway MS just like it.

Quote/base:0x10000 /align:32

Are these options required or just recommended?

Best regards,
Robin.
