Just playing around, please excuse my silly question: I'm trying to figure out if I could try some basic kernel-space driver experiments in Windows (NT-based), without getting MSVC+DDK, i.e. using Mingw, that I'm already using for some simple user-space programming.
My idea is that, apart from some kernel-space header files, I need to tell my compiler/linker NOT to link to libc, but rather to link the bare object file (compiled from my code) with a binary "header", that would be compliant to the Microsoft .SYS format used for NT drivers. As long as the resulting binary exports the expected driver entry/exit point symbols, and the .SYS format is fine, such a driver might as well work, right? Does -D__KERNEL__ work under Win32 by any chance? :-) In an attempt to test compatibility the other way around, I tried doing an objdump -xs on some SYS files from C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\, but objdump complained about unrecognized file format... Any ideas are welcome Frank Rysanek _______________________________________________ help-gnu-utils mailing list help-gnu-utils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-utils
