Re: Using NTTARGETFILE1 macro in driver build process

Can you express a dependency on the target that you have in the makefile.inc
?
This way it will be build only after the dependency has been built as well.

Hi,
I am using NTTARGETFILE1 macro in the sources file, to create a specific
file during driver build (through build utility). It creates the file, as
expected. But it creates the files twice. DDK says "NTTARGETFILE1 is
invoked
on pass one or later passes". I think the command specified in the
makefile.inc to create the file is invoked twice ( pass 1 and at the time
of
linking). Because of this unwanted second time execution of the command,
compilation takes more time. Is there anything to avoid this unwanted
stuff.
Something which gets executed only once, either at the time of compilation
or
at the time of linking.
I have used the macro like...
In sources file...
.
.
NTTARGETFILE1=CreateMyFile

In makefile.inc ...
.
.
CreateMyFile:
CommandToCreateTheFile


Thanks,
