3.1 The BUILD Utility

Invoking BUILD with the “-?” option displays the syntax (command-line options) for this utility.

In the text below, the term build product refers to a binary file created by a BUILD operation. In the Windows NT DDK, this is a driver. However, BUILD is used to create every binary in the Windows NT product: executables, dynamic link libraries, and drivers.

BUILD supports a library-linked-to-main model. If a build product consists of several source files, specify all but the main source file as components of a library. This library is then linked with the file containing main.
