To make xmake more convenient and flexible to support other compilation environments, I spent four months to upgrade custom rule rules.
Users can now implement various compilation rules by customizing the rules, and xmake also has built-in common compilation rules that can be applied directly to the current project to support QT, WDK driver and Cuda compilation environments.

Introduction to New features
Qt Program
Create an empty project:
$ xmake create -l c++ -t console_qt test
$ xmake create -l c++ -t static_qt test
$ xmake create -l c++ -t shared_qt test
$ xmake create -l c++ -t quickapp_qt test
xmake will detect Qt SDK automatically and we can also set the SDK directory manually.
$ xmake f --qt=~/Qt/Qt5.9.1
If you want to known more information, you can see #160.

add_cuflags("-gencode arch=compute_" .. sm .. ",code=sm_" .. sm)
add_ldflags("-gencode arch=compute_" .. sm .. ",code=sm_" .. sm)
end
-- generate PTX code from the highest SM architecture to guarantee forward-compatibility
sm = "70"
add_cuflags("-gencode arch=compute_" .. sm .. ",code=compute_" .. sm)
add_ldflags("-gencode arch=compute_" .. sm .. ",code=compute_" .. sm)
xmake will detect Cuda SDK automatically and we can also set the SDK directory manually.
$ xmake f --cuda=/usr/local/cuda-9.1/
$ xmake
If you want to known more information, you can see #158.
WDK Driver Program
xmake will detect WDK automatically and we can also set the WDK directory manually.
$ xmake f --wdk="G:\Program Files\Windows Kits\10" -c
$ xmake
If you want to known more information, you can see #159.
UMDF Driver Program
target("echo")
add_rules("wdk.driver", "wdk.env.umdf")
add_files("driver/*.c")
add_files("driver/*.inx")
add_includedirs("exe")
target("app")
add_rules("wdk.binary", "wdk.env.umdf")
add_files("exe/*.cpp")
KMDF Driver Program
target("nonpnp")
add_rules("wdk.driver", "wdk.env.kmdf")
add_values("wdk.tracewpp.flags", "-func:TraceEvents(LEVEL,FLAGS,MSG,...)", "-func:Hexdump((LEVEL,FLAGS,MSG,...))")
add_files("driver/*.c", {rule = "wdk.tracewpp"})
add_files("driver/*.rc")
target("app")
add_rules("wdk.binary", "wdk.env.kmdf")
add_files("exe/*.c")
add_files("exe/*.inf")
WDM Driver Program
target("kcs")
add_rules("wdk.driver", "wdk.env.wdm")
add_values("wdk.man.flags", "-prefix Kcs")
add_values("wdk.man.resource", "kcsCounters.rc")
add_values("wdk.man.header", "kcsCounters.h")
add_values("wdk.man.counter_header", "kcsCounters_counters.h")
add_files("*.c", "*.rc", "*.man")
target("msdsm")
add_rules("wdk.driver", "wdk.env.wdm")
add_values("wdk.tracewpp.flags", "-func:TracePrint((LEVEL,FLAGS,MSG,...))")
add_files("*.c", {rule = "wdk.tracewpp"})
add_files("*.rc", "*.inf")
add_files("*.mof|msdsm.mof")
add_files("msdsm.mof", {values = {wdk_mof_header = "msdsmwmi.h"}})
Package Driver
We can run the following command to generate a .cab driver package.
$ xmake [p|package]
$ xmake [p|package] -o outputdir
The output files like:
- drivers
- sampledsm
- debug/x86/sampledsm.cab
- release/x64/sampledsm.cab
- debug/x86/sampledsm.cab
- release/x64/sampledsm.cab
Driver Signing
The driver signing is disabled when we compile driver in default case,
but we can add set_values("wdk.sign.mode")
to enable test/release sign.
TestSign
We can use test certificate of xmake to do testsign, but please run $xmake l utils.wdk.testcert
install as admin to install a test certificate first (only once)!
target("msdsm")
add_rules("wdk.driver", "wdk.env.wdm")
set_values("wdk.sign.mode", "test")
Or we set a valid certificate thumbprint to do it in local machine.
target("msdsm")
add_rules("wdk.driver", "wdk.env.wdm")
set_values("wdk.sign.mode", "test")
set_values("wdk.sign.thumbprint", "032122545DCAA6167B1ADBE5F7FDF07AE2234AAA")
We can also do testsign via setting store/company info.
target("msdsm")
add_rules("wdk.driver", "wdk.env.wdm")
set_values("wdk.sign.mode", "test")
set_values("wdk.sign.store", "PrivateCertStore")
set_values("wdk.sign.company", "tboox.org(test)")
ReleaseSign
We can set a certificate file for release signing.
target("msdsm")
add_rules("wdk.driver", "wdk.env.wdm")
set_values("wdk.sign.mode", "release")
set_values("wdk.sign.company", "xxxx")
set_values("wdk.sign.certfile", path.join(os.projectdir(), "xxxx.cer"))
Support Low-version System
We can set wdk.env.winver
to generate a driver package that is compatible with a low version system.
set_values("wdk.env.winver", "win10")
set_values("wdk.env.winver", "win10_rs3")
set_values("wdk.env.winver", "win81")
set_values("wdk.env.winver", "win8")
set_values("wdk.env.winver", "win7")
set_values("wdk.env.winver", "win7_sp1")
set_values("wdk.env.winver", "win7_sp2")
set_values("wdk.env.winver", "win7_sp3")
We can also set windows version for WDK driver program:
$ xmake f --wdk_winver=[win10_rs3|win8|win7|win7_sp1]
$ xmake
WinSDK Application Program
target("usbview")
add_rules("win.sdk.application")
add_files("*.c", "*.rc")
add_files("xmlhelper.cpp", {rule = "win.sdk.dotnet"})
