RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: virtio-win-prewhql-0.1-87
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: In previous version the part of virtio-win drivers were build with VS2012 Consequence: Since Microsoft released a new version on Visual Studio, designed to work with the latest Windows Driver Kit (WDK) 8.1 we have to update our build system to use VS2013 instead of VS2012. Fix: Update project files as well as build scripts to use VS2013. Result: Now virtio-win build system uses VS2013 instead of VS2012 in order to produce virtio-win drivers.

Comment 7 Mike Cao 2014-07-22 06:50:25 UTC 
I saw <MinimumRequiredVersion>6.0</MinimumRequiredVersion> was added as a fix 
But I have an question about the file 
in Line #471 and line ##364
I saw them are same .<ItemDefinitionGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Vista Release|Win32'">
)

Why add <MinimumRequiredVersion>6.0</MinimumRequiredVersion> under the ItemDefinitionGroup under line #471 instead of #364?

Thanks,
Mike
Comment 8 Yvugenfi@redhat.com 2014-07-22 08:45:43 UTC 
The file is not edited manually. This is how Visual Studio decided to change it. I am puzzled why all this section on line 364 exists.

Looks the section of #364 and #471 are dup .

BTW .I saw 'rem call ..\tools\callVisualStudio.bat' in buildall.bat ,while the 'tools' should be replace to 'Tools' as there is no 'tools' folder (but looks windows is not sensitive to the characters case .)

I check the buildall.bat and callVisualStudio.bat ,I can not find a way to prove it is compiled by vs 2013

Any idea how to verify it, thanks ,
Mike
Comment 10 Yvugenfi@redhat.com 2014-07-22 09:32:22 UTC 
When the compilation runs, you can check devenv.exe process and verify its location. It should belong to VS2013.
Comment 11 Mike Cao 2014-07-24 11:36:16 UTC 
I tried using BuildAll.bat for both mm79 and mm 99 on win8.1 guest with *VS2012*  installed , Both of the two builds can be compiled successfully and use the devenv belongs to vs2012

Any ideas about it ? the scripts can be used on vs2012 as well ?

Thanks,
Mike
Comment 12 Yvugenfi@redhat.com 2014-07-24 13:34:21 UTC 
Inside of tools directory you have "callVisualStudio.bat" and "getVisualStudioCmdLine.vbs" - they should call correct VS according to the parameters passed from "buildall.bat":

"call ..\tools\callVisualStudio.bat 12" - is VS2013.
"call ..\tools\callVisualStudio.bat 11" - is VS2012. 



Best regards,
Yan.

Code check for buildall.bat 

in commit 1fe66b4c1ccc0ee0826330b778848a9fea700a5e ,it shows "call ..\tools\callVisualStudio.bat 11" 

Verified this issue on virtio-win-prewhql-87 src code , it shows "call ..\tools\callVisualStudio.bat 12"

Based on above ,this issue has been fixed ald ,
Move status to verified
