Title: "native" linker setting...
Post by: CommonTater on May 29, 2012, 06:32:05 PM

Project -> Project Options -> Linker -> Subsystem = Native 
 
Can someone give me a brief explaination of this linker setting, when it's used and in conjunction with what kind of project?
 
Thanks.

What says the help (Command line tools -> Polink -> Commanline options -> /subsystem -> Native:

NATIVE is used for Windows NT drivers.

Hi CommonTater,

This setting enables also to code an application running before the complete system boot like chkdsk checking for disk errors.

So what kind of project do I create for that?  A DLL?

None. PellesC doesn't come with the required include files for either drivers or a user-mode native program.

Ok... thanks for the help guys...

It looks like I don't want to go there with what I had in mind.  :D

The boot time interface of UltraDefrag is a native application and there is the native-nt-toolkit at http://native-nt-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk

They all need to link to ntdll.dll ;)

Seems the way-back machine has to be used for those lost web library books if possible.

Collecting links isn't reliable any more :(
