Is there an tool that would convert WinDDK make to VS2010 project\solution?
Take a look at DDKBuild.
I use Visual Studio 2012 in combination with DDKBuild to compile drivers – when errors show up I can see them in the Error List window and can get taken straight to the right line in the driver source…saves a bunch of time!
I’ve set up various SolutionConfigurations for different driver options that I want e.g. running a PreFast pass, compiling as 32bit, 64bit, for different OS targets, etc – makes it super easy to switch between Release and Debug, or the static analysis tools.
Basically you create a new Visual Studio Makefile Project in Visual studio, then set the NMAKE|Build Command Line to something like this:
or
or
etc, depending on the platform you are targeting.
I haven’t used it myself, but for a more powerful way to leverage Visual Studio to do driver development, take a look at VisualDDK…it can let you develop your driver via VMWare….so that crashes just take down the virtual machine, rather than your whole machine. It also offers a way to do kernel debugging …. normally you need a secondary machine to do that (and a USB, Firewire, or Ethernet link).
