Equivalent command to build (on WDK 7) with WDK 10

I have some really old scripts using the build command for compiling with WDK 7. A sample command to build a static library is:

build /F /g /w /b /c /Z /jpath %BUILDROOT%

What is equivalent command I can use to compile the same with WDK 10? Also where can I find documentation on the usage of the build command.

Solution

  • While going through a MSDN documentation of MSBuild I came across this:

    Important Starting in Windows Driver Kit (WDK) 8, MSBuild replaced the Windows Build Utility (Build.exe).

    So that's it - no build command for WDK 8+. Converting the earlier project into a WDK 10 format - by generating the vcxproj files, I was able to build it.
