FindWDK

CMake module for building drivers with Windows Development Kit (WDK) Build status CI

Introduction

FindWDK makes it possible to build kernel drivers and kernel libraries with Windows Development Kit (WDK) and CMake.

Requirements:

  • WDK 8.0 and higher
  • Visual Studio 2015 and higher
  • CMake 3.0 and higher

Usage

Add FindWDK to the module search path and call find_package:

list(APPEND CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "<path_to_FindWDK>")
find_package(WDK REQUIRED)

FindWDK will search for the latest installed Windows Development Kit (WDK) and expose commands for creating kernel drivers and kernel libraries. Also the following variables will be defined:

  • WDK_FOUND -- if false, do not try to use WDK
  • WDK_ROOT -- where WDK is installed
  • WDK_VERSION -- the version of the selected WDK
  • WDK_WINVER -- the WINVER used for kernel drivers and libraries (default value is 0x0601 and can be changed per target or globally)
  • WDK_NTDDI_VERSION -- the NTDDI_VERSION used for kernel drivers and libraries, if not set, the value will be automatically calculated by WINVER

WDKContentRoot environment variable overrides the default WDK search path.

Kernel driver

The following command adds a kernel driver target called <name> to be built from the source files listed in the command invocation:

wdk_add_driver(<name> 
    [EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL]
    [KMDF <kmdf_version>]
    [WINVER <winver_version>]
    [NTDDI_VERSION <ntddi_version>]
    source1 [source2 ...]
    )

Options:

  • EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL -- exclude from the default build target
  • KMDF <kmdf_version> -- use KMDF and set KMDF version
  • WINVER <winver_version> -- use specific WINVER version
  • NTDDI_VERSION <ntddi_version> -- use specific NTDDI_VERSION

Example:

wdk_add_driver(KmdfCppDriver 
    KMDF 1.15 
    WINVER 0x0602
    Main.cpp
    )

Kernel library

The following command adds a kernel library target called <name> to be built from the source files listed in the command invocation:

wdk_add_library(<name> [STATIC | SHARED]
    [EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL]
    [KMDF <kmdf_version>]
    [WINVER <winver_version>]
    [NTDDI_VERSION <ntddi_version>]
    source1 [source2 ...]
    )

Options:

  • EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL -- exclude from the default build target
  • KMDF <kmdf_version> -- use KMDF and set KMDF version
  • WINVER <winver_version> -- use specific WINVER version
  • NTDDI_VERSION <ntddi_version> -- use specific NTDDI_VERSION
  • STATIC or SHARED -- specify the type of library to be created

Example:

wdk_add_library(KmdfCppLib STATIC 
    KMDF 1.15
    WINVER 0x0602
    KmdfCppLib.h 
    KmdfCppLib.cpp
    )

Linking to WDK libraries

FindWDK creates imported targets for all WDK libraries. The naming pattern is WDK::<UPPERCASED_LIBNAME>. Linking a minifilter driver to FltMgr.lib is shown below:

target_link_libraries(MinifilterCppDriver WDK::FLTMGR)

Samples

Take a look at the samples folder to see how WMD and KMDF drivers and libraries are built.
