7.driverbase-驱动编译环境--x86 Checked Build Environment

Choosing a Build Environment

The Windows Driver Kit (WDK) contains a variety of build environments for different operating systems and processors. These environments are all named for the binaries that they build, not the operating system that the build occurs on. For example, choose one of the Windows XP build environments to create drivers for Windows XP systems.

With one exception, you can use any build environment on any computer. For example, you can use the Windows XP build environments on a Windows Server 2003 computer to build binaries that will run on Windows XP. Or you can use the Windows Server 2008 IA-64 build environment on a Windows Vista Professional computer with an x86 processor to build binaries that will run on an Intel Itanium computer with Windows Server 2008.

The one exception is that you cannot build 16-bit binaries (such as virtual device drivers or boot loaders) on an Itanium computer or an x64-based computer. When you install the WDK on a 64-bit computer, the 16-bit build environments will not be available during installation.

文档可以直接查看WDK下自带的Help目录

x86:Windows是32位版本，和CPU是32位还是64位无关

x64:64位版本的Windows

IA64:Intel的与x86不兼容的64位平台

所以一般用x86就好了

常用的编译命令就是build
