Question: When trying to build the ezusb.sys file, error "don't know how to make 'C:\WINDDK\3790\lib\i386\free\usbd.lib'" is displayed? What is the work around for this error?
Answer: This is likely an error in the Source files in the driver directory. If you open the Source file for editing with Notepad for instance, there are the following statements:
# to build this driver using the Windows 2000 DDK, uncomment the following line:
# TARGETLIBS=$(DDK_LIB_PATH)\usbd.lib
The # serves to comment out the line, the same way a ; does in assembly or // in C++ or /* */ in C. To remove the error these lines in the Source file should look like:
# to build this driver using the Windows 2000 DDK, uncomment the following line:
TARGETLIBS=$(DDK_LIB_PATH)\usbd.lib
The # is deleted and any leading blank spaces are also deleted. Save the file and the driver should build without error.
