download --with-wdk fetches the WDK headers/libs/host-tools NuGet
packages (nuget.org has no vsman-manifest entry for this content) and
lays them out where the DriverKit.BuildTools PlatformToolset expects
them. msbuildEnv wires WDKContentRoot/WDKBuildFolder through
DisableRegistryUse the same way the SDK/toolset paths already are.
Two WDK-package fixups were needed for a real driver to actually
build under Wine: the bundled build-task assembly is versioned for an
older VisualStudioVersion than ours, and the package ships no x86
host-tools directory at all (only x64/arm64), which StampInf hardcodes
a path to.
Also force TZ=UTC for msbuild invocations: StampInf stamps DriverVer
using the local wall-clock date while Inf2Cat validates it against
UTC "now", so any timezone east of UTC sees a "postdated DriverVer"
failure for most of the day.
Verified against a real KMDF sample driver (microsoft/Windows-driver-
samples' echo_2): compiles, links, INF stamps and passes Inf2Cat's
signability check with SignMode=off.
- download --list-workloads / --list-components print every workload or
component id (with its manifest title) without downloading anything, for
discovering what to pass as a package id or --with-* toggle.
- download --print-deps-tree prints the dependency tree of whatever the
current flags would actually select, sharing the exact same
arch/--ignore/Optional/Recommended filtering ExpandSelection uses so the
output matches a real download; diamond dependencies are shown once and
referenced as "(see above)" afterwards to keep it finite.
- Fixed --manifest (offline/predownloaded manifest testing) never having
worked at all: it builds a "file:" URL but the shared http.Client had no
handler registered for that scheme.
- Added a CI workflow running gofmt/vet/build/test on every push and PR;
previously only the tag-triggered release workflow existed.
A single-binary Go tool for cross compiling with the real MSVC toolchain
on Linux via Wine. Behaves as cl/link/lib/rc/midl/mt/dumpbin/msbuild/
nmake/ml/ml64/armasm/armasm64/cmd/findstr depending on the name it's
invoked as, plus download/install/env/version management subcommands.
- download: fetches the MSVC/WinSDK installer manifest, resolves package
selection and dependencies, downloads and verifies payloads, unpacks
VSIX/MSI packages, and applies a handful of compatibility patches so
VsDevCmd.bat and MSBuild's SDK detection work without a Windows
Registry (which doesn't exist under Wine).
- install: locates the installed toolchain/SDK versions, normalizes
header/library name casing, lays out per-architecture tool symlinks
with an env.json config each, and compiles a small native launcher
(toolrelay.exe) that lets mt.exe's CMake-compatibility exit code
survive Wine's own exit-code truncation.
- The wrapper runtime rewrites absolute unix paths in tool arguments into
Wine's z:\... form, runs the real .exe under wine, and rewrites the
tool's output back to plain unix paths.
Verified end-to-end against a real MSVC/WinSDK download: cl, link, mt and
the resulting hello.exe all work under Wine, including through the
toolrelay.exe relay path and with paths containing non-ASCII characters.
Offline unit tests cover the wrapper's path-rewrite/output-filter logic,
install-time header lowercasing, and download package-selection/
dependency-resolution.
