[nvmewin] Building for Windows 8 and Windows 8+

[Judy Brock-SSI]

I think Robert makes an important point below.

Where are the VS solutions (both free and checked build) that were used to build OFA release 1.2?  To establish/be able to rely on a stable reproducible baseline, we cannot not all use private build environments.

To do so risks running into potentially serious divergences in driver behavior/stability such as that which was uncovered when some were building with the old COMPLETE_IN_DPC flag while others of us were not. It also potentially wastes a lot of dev/test time.

Second question:  which tools were used? VS 2012 or 2013? WDK 8.0 or 8.1?

Thanks,
Judy

All,

Are there plans to supply a build environment for v8 of the WDK and forward?  The current source tree appears to rely only on the older tools (build, etc).  With Microsoft forcing folks to use Visual Studio 11 / 2012 starting with v8 of the WDK does everyone use a private build environment or are there plans to add a VS Solution or VS compatible makefile to the repository?  I tend to be IDE agnostic and prefer makefiles but either one would work fine.

I may be able to volunteer for the task...

Best regards,
Robert.
