Build for Windows RT (ARMv7)

[ValdikSS]

Hi, a user of GoodbyeDPI asking for Windows RT (8.1 ARMv7) build. He says that his device is jailbroken, with administrator privileges, and that it also loads drivers (e.g. VueScan).

Is it possible to compile WinDivert for Windows RT? Is it possible to sign driver with the current signing key, are there any architecture restrictions?

In principle it should be possible. I think the main problem is that WinDivert currently uses WDK 7.1 and I don't think that version supports ARM cpus.

Hi there. It's for my request issue. Why dontcha switch to WDK8.1? I suppose WDK7.1 isn't support Win8.x well at all (except order of compatibility with lower Windows version)

WinDivert needs to support Windows 7 and up, and the easiest way to accomplish this is to use WDK7.

That doesn't mean other WDKs couldn't also be supported side-by-side. But there hasn't been any need to do so yet.

Also, I'd prefer if the driver build could be wrapped up into a script like the current wddk-build.bat. Newer WDKs integrate into VS I believe, which complicates the build process. For example, I recently tried to build the WFPSampler drivers. Attempting to follow the instructions, I first had to install VS, then install WDK 10 extensions, then change a bunch of config options in the GUI for some reason, and (after several tries) it finally built a non-functional executable. I'm sure there is some config option somewhere that is wrong, but at this point I'd had enough and gave up.

Well ok... In this case I really doubt its possible to build ARM driver under WDK7.1. Thanks

Well, as I said, WDK8 or WDK10 could be supported in addition to WDK7. This is not my priority at the moment, but others are welcome to work on it if they want to.

1. GoodbyeDPI fails to build with current master. Support for the arm architecture would require support for Windivert's latest API (1.4) first. 2. Switching to a higher version of the WDK would mean switching to a higher Windows SDK as well. See the 1.4 wishlist. 3. Has anyone ever tried targeting arm (universal runtime) before? Basil said that it *should* be possible. The universal runtime is a completely different animal I argue.
