cannot compile WRK

[nwiktor04]

hey, so as you know, WRK has been public for quite a while. now, i previously have managed to compile it on a VM, however since this VM is no longer accessible, i decided to recompile it. i have hit a brick wall, and despite following a tutorial online, i ended up getting this:

Code: Select all

        checktoolarch x86
        cd W:\base\ntos\rtl\BUILD
        ml.exe -nologo -Cx -Zi -safeseh -coff -Zm -I..\i386 -I. -IW:\base\ntos\r

Stop.

yeah, i can't find my way around this. any suggestions? thanks

What you have to do is create a directory called obji386 off each of the BUILD directories. The build fails if these directories are not there. Note that there are quite a few to create, also if you do the amd64 build you need to create the objamd64 directories in the same way.
