Changelog

Each major release will likely break dirty builds, requiring a fresh clean-build, it's recommended to apply new releases onto newly extracted source code if possible.

v10
  • [x64] Replaced MS-DOS Player for some 16-bit tools with recompiled amd64 versions, provided by an anon in the threads (many thanks!), source available inside _x64\tools\tools16\16_bit_build_tools_v2.zip
  • Added missing public\internal\windows\lib\amd64\usp10p.lib library needed for amd64 build, taken from XPSP1 tree.
  • Added parse.obj to windows\advcore\duser\directui\engine\parser\obj\amd64 & objd folder, extracted from amd64 directui.lib file.
  • Added updated base\ntos\ex\exp.h & amd64 systime.obj/extime.obj files based on anon decompilations.
  • Added msgina_sp1.def & userenv_sp1.def from the winlogon200X pack, these will make amd64 builds of msgina/userenv use the SP1 export ordinal numbers, improving compatibility with SP1 winlogon & possibly other SP1 files.
v9#
  • (v9c) [x64] Added 32-bit mapsym.exe & rc.bat MSDOS-Player wrapper to printscan\faxsrv\print\faxprint\faxdrv\win9x\sdk\binw16 dir, since some anons seemed to get errors from this folder.
  • (v9b) [x64] Replaced masm.exe/mkpublic.exe with 32-bit versions (taken from Sizzle), as some anons had issues with MS-DOS Player reporting a bad DOS version, breaking those two tools as they require DOS 2.0+ - thanks to the anon from the thread who helped test!
  • 64-bit builder support: added _x64 subdirectory containing fixed files, & razzle64.cmd for building under 64-bit hosts (tested under Win7SP1 x64 & Win10 x64)
  • Updated razzle.cmd to set NO_PDB_PATHS=1 without needing officialbuild parameter (reasoning in the additions list above)
  • Fix ixsso build error by adding BUILD_ALLOW_MIDL_WARNINGS=1 to makefile, stops MIDL2346 warning from breaking the build (warning seems to be caused by using a non-US locale? can this be fixed via parameters, or a locale-emulator?)
  • Reorder windows\appcompat\dirs file to help with single-core builds (from idkwhy's OpenXP git repo)
  • Updated msitoddf.cpp, now closes the MSI package handle when finished (prevents stalling postbuild on Win10), and added fix for 64-bit build OS (redirects SysWOW64 to System32)
  • Updated mshtml.ref reference file - used to compare mshtml output against known-good one? last updated in 1999(!), without updating it seems to randomly cause build error in certain conditions (only started appearing on win10 though, never had them on win7/XP...)
v8#
  • (v8d) Revert srv_info.chm changes, as an anon managed to find that inside an XP x64 ISO image, now included inside 2k3-missing-x86fre-v7.7z
  • (v8d) Updated cddirs.lst to allow valueadd\3rdparty folder to be included into the CD image.
  • (v8c) Updated razzle.cmd to always set __BUILDMACHINE__ variable regardless of "offline" parameter, allows build tag built into kernel to match BuildName.txt
  • Note: the razzle.cmd change above will require clean-building afterwards! If you want to continue 'dirty'-building with your current build make sure you don't extract the updated razzle.cmd from this pack
  • (v8c) Made oscdimg.cmd use build tag from BuildName.txt as output filename if destination path isn't provided
  • (v8c) Removed directui_XP.lib file, as our built directui.lib seems to work fine
  • (v8b) Added pre-built parse.obj files for DirectUI, taken from win2003 directuid.lib - allows us to build a working version of DirectUI fine!
  • (v8b) Updated shell\cpls\appwzdui\winnt\sources, shell\ext\logondui\sources & shell\shell32\winnt\sources files to suppress LNK4206 warning generated by pre-built parse.obj.
  • (v8b) Deleted all references to srv_info.chm (which can't be located anywhere, no RTM ISOs seem to have it), may as well remove it so it can't mess up any more builds.
  • (v8b) Updated setupw95.cmd & drivercab.cmd to add a delay between async calls, fixes an issue with filename-collisions. (update only needed under newer OS's, older OS's like XP don't seem to have this issue)
  • (v8b) Updated windows\advcore\dirs file to allow DUser/DirectUI to get built during main build
  • (v8a) Disabled incbbt.cmd from pbuild.dat, as the incbbt.cmd file is missing
  • Updated 16-bit build tools inside com\ole32\olethunk\ole16\tools\, and updated olethunk code so it'll build fine with them.
  • Removed pre-built 16-bit code
  • Updated prebuild.cmd to handle the updated 16-bit tools instead of using pre-built stuff (will only use updated files if OS requires them)
  • Disabled fixprn.pl, ntbackuponpersonal.cmd, gpmc.cmd and msi.cmd calls from pbuild.dat, as we're missing required build-files for those (you can grab the results of those scripts from RTM ISO, or from the 2k3-missing-x86fre.7z pack)
  • Thanks to anon who made 2k3-missing-x86fre, we should now be able to build without any postbuild errors!
v7#
  • (7e) removed DUser/DirectUI building instructions, readded DUser.dll to missing.cmd - sadly our built one doesn't work properly and breaks pro sku's login screen. Likely because of Bison.skl being customized by MS, which was missing from the source code.
  • (7d) removed DUser.dll from missing.cmd
  • (7c) changed DUser placefil.txt so DUser.dll gets placed in binaries.x86fre root
  • (7c) updated DUser bldenv.cmd so that 'bldenv release' will also reset optimization flags, now release builds will get proper optimization
  • includes Win7 fixes from guideanon's v4 toolkit, hopefully reduces NTVDM errors for people
  • adds files & instructions for building DUser.dll/DirectUI.lib, can now build a proper server2003 version of it instead of needing the WinXP one
  • adds pre-built GdiPlus 1.0.100.0, since we can't build GdiPlus code atm (should allow building a working asms01.cab/hivesxs.inf)
  • removed asms01.cab/hivesxs.inf from missing.cmd
  • moved prebuild to tools\prebuild.cmd, no longer deletes itself afterwards in case it needs to be ran again
  • re-ordered some of the build preparation steps, added details about building DirectUI.lib before the main build
