Assaf,

I am using MSDEV 4.2 with the following simple DRVBLD.BAT file which does
what you want:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@echo off
if "%1" == "checked" goto ch_pars
if "%1" == "CHECKED" goto ch_pars
if "%1" == "free" goto ch_pars
if "%1" == "FREE" goto ch_pars
goto usage
:ch_pars
if "%2" == "" goto usage
if "%3" == "" goto usage
if NOT exist %2\nul goto usage
if NOT exist %3\nul goto usage
goto exec

:usage
echo ------------------------------------------------- > usage.txt
echo Wrong Parameter(s). >> usage.txt
echo Usage: >> usage.txt
echo    DRVBLD {CHECKED or FREE} {src_drv} {src_dir} >> usage.txt
echo For example: >> usage.txt
echo    DRVBLD CHECKED D: ..\SRC >> usage.txt
echo ------------------------------------------------- >> usage.txt
type usage.txt
goto endend

:exec
net stop udrv
call %BASEDIR%\bin\setenv.bat %BASEDIR%  %1
%2
cd %3
if EXIST .\BUILD.ERR del .\build.err
if EXIST .\ok.txt  del .\ok.txt
if EXIST .\err.txt del .\err.txt
if NOT EXIST .\I386\%1\nul mkdir .\I386\%1

rem === Let's build and copy it ======
BUILD -ce
if EXIST .\BUILD.ERR goto err
copy .\I386\%1\MYDRV.SYS %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS

rem === SoftICE stuff ========== C:\NTICE\NMSYM.EXE /UNLOAD:MYDRV.SYS
C:\NTICE\NMSYM.EXE /TRANS:ALWAYS /SOURCE:.\; /LOAD 
%SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\MYDRV.SYS net start udrv echo
----------------- > ok.txt echo ---- SUCCESS ---- >> ok.txt echo
----------------- >> ok.txt type ok.txt goto end

:err
echo ---------------- > err.txt
echo ---- ERRORS ---- >> err.txt
echo ---------------- >> err.txt
type err.txt

:end

rem === Let's show all results ===
if EXIST BUILD.LOG type BUILD.LOG

:endend
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------- This BAT file can work with any development directory
structure. This BAT file does the folowing:  - checkes the validity of
input parameters,  - stops the driver,	- runs the SETENV.BAT file,  -
creates the BUILD directory (if it does not exist),  - runs the BUILD
utility,  - copys the .SYS file to the \WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS directory,
 - builds and loads symbol table for NuMEGA's SoftICE debugger,  -
displays all the results in the "Build" tab of the "Output" window in
MSDEV. If any errors  were reported then you can as usual double-click on
the line with an error, and this will automatically show you the place in
your source code.

To use this BAT file do the following: 1. Find all places in this BAT
file with the string "MYDRV" and replace this string with the name of
your driver 2. Create a new MSDEV project with the type "Makefile", 3.
Place DRVBLD.BAT file in any directory in your PATH (I prefer to save it
in the same directory where MSDEV's .MAK file is). 4. In the
"Build/Settings" menu of MSDEV, "Build command line" edit box type in the
follwing:

     DRVBLD.BAT checked <src_drv>  <src_dir>
for DEBUG configuration, or:

     DRVBLD.BAT free  <src_drv>  <src_dir>
for RELEASEconfiguration.

<src_drv> - drive letter where all driver's source files are,
<src_dir> - full directory name where all driver's source files are.

For exmple, if all your driver's files are in the same direcrtory where
MSDEV's .MAK file is, then the command lline would be:	DRVBLD.BAT
checked  D:  .\


Good Luck.
Eugene.
