Custom Microsoft Compiler Toolkit Compilation

Based on the VC from DDK 7.1.0 (cl 15.00.30729.207)

VS2008's cl is 15.00.21022.08, so this seems like the same compiler generation.

Directory layout:

 <Top Directory>
    +--bin
    |   +--1033
    |   +--amd64
    |   +--i386
    |   +--ia64
    +--include
    |   +--atl
    |   +--crt
    |   |   +--sys
    |   +--gl
    |   +--mfc
    +--lib
        +--amd64
        +--i386
        +--ia64

See tools\README.txt for dependencies and versions

Invoking

Open command promt in project target and call

 c:> \<cmsc root>\setenv.bat /<cpu>

 Where <cpu> can be:
 /x86 | /i386 for Windows32
 /x64 | /amd64 | /emt64 | /x86_64 For Windows64
 /i64 | /ia64 for Windows64 on Itanium

This will set up required paths for binaries, include and lib files. It will also set EXTRA_LIBS environment variable with the value msvcrt_compat.lib msvcrt_compat.obj

Important

Make sure those two files are linked to every .dll or .exe produced by this toolkit. The easiest is to add $(EXTRA_LIBS) to link task in Makefile.

Warning

Toolkit cannot be used for producing DEBUG builds because there is no system msvcrtd.dll. Trying to compile with the /MDd compiler option will produce unusable builds, because of missing stubs. For debugging purposes use the compiler that comes with Visual Studio.
