Instructions on how to build on MSVS 2013

[manasabi]

Hi,

Thanks for upgrading Busdog to MSVS2013.

I am trying to build the GUI and filter driver together but I am running into some issues. Like busdog.exe which is generated after compiling the code under "gui/", gives error while installing the driver: "ExtractDriverFiles failed"

I guess this is because I am not compiling the GUI with driver as a resource. Also, running make_package.bat and make_all_package.bat throws error: "SignTool Error: File not found: filter\objfre_wxp_x86\i386\busdog.sys"

I tried following instructions mentioned in the wiki here: https://code.google.com/p/busdog/wiki/BuildingBusdog . But I think these instructions are outdated after the migration to MSVS 2013.

So, I wanted to request you if you could help me with instructions on how to build the latest version of Busdog.

Thanks Manas

Yes the build scripts are out of date after the MSVS 2013 migration. I take it you are able to build the gui and the filter driver separately?

The process should eventually be:

• build busdog.sys
• sign busdog.sys
• add busdog.sys/inf (+ other driver dependencies like WDF dlls etc) to a .NET resource
• build busdog.exe with the driver resource
