When I used Visual Studio 2012 and WinDDK 8.0 to compile sample code "Kernel mode display-only miniport driver (KMDOD) sample" from package "Windows Driver Kit (WDK) 8.0 Samples" downloaded from msdn wdk 8.0 sample, I got the following errors:
Error 1 error -1: "Inf2Cat, unknown failure." Double click to see the tool output.
The output file is "inf2catOutput.log", and the content is:
Inf2Cat Tool Output:
.....................
Signability test complete.
Errors:

Signability test failed.
The content of the output pane is:

I haven't changed any of the settings or code in the sample, I just opened the solution then tried to build the code. any configurations or platforms will result in the same error.
Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks!
I had the same problem. The cause of this problem was the update http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2862973/ with the description "Update for deprecation of MD5 hashing algorithm for Microsoft root certificate program".
With this update MD5 hashes are no longer valid to:
server authentication
code signing
time stamping
That means that if your inf2cat uses MD5 hashes to check the integrity of contained files, it will fail.
The solution is to download WDK 8.1 and use the new version of inf2cat.
I had the same problem. In my case the problem only occurred when I did builds for windows 8. Windows 7 builds did not have the issue.
The problem is caused by a Microsoft update - http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=2862966
I removed the fix, disabled updates and my builds are working again.
FWIW, here is a link to the discussion where I found this info - https://www.osronline.com/ShowThread.cfm?link=246887

I am trying to get running Apache Cordova in VS, but face the following issue. I have VisualStudio 2013 and recently installed Apache Cordova tools for VS. However when I create a new project Blank App (Apache Cordova) and I try to build it, I get the following building Error.
Seems there is some issue with node.js, but I cant seem to be able to figure this one out. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I'm trying to build libvpx 1.3.0 under Visual Studio 2012 (vs11) under windows 8.1 (x64).
I read the build prerequisites (http://www.webmproject.org/code/build-prerequisites/) and configured libvpx as following:
./configure --target=x86-win32-vs11 --disable-examples --disable-docs --disable-unit-tests
After the configure i do a make, without errors. But when i lauch the solution under Visual Studio and try to build, i get those path error:

I tryed both MSYS and Cygwin, same result.
Any idea ?
Ok, problem fixed:
The 1.3.0 snapshot seems to be faulty, cloning the git was the solution, it will probably be gone in the next snapshot.
Configured with Cygwin, MSYS was missing a perl module.
I am trying to run a simple program through cmake gui and I receive the following output. I am not really sure what the problem is and forgive me, because I am quite new to this. I have also uninstalled and installed visual studio 2012 and 2013 to see if that would make a difference. I am using Visual Studio 2013 as the compiler and get the following configuration error.

I just finished my project and tried building it in Release for the first time. I've had previous issues with the Windows 7 SDK and the Common7 stuff located in program files(ie they were missing and I had to install them from msdn).
The build is complaining :
1>LINK : fatal error C1350: error loading dll 'msobj110.dll': dll not found
1>Block.obj : fatal error LNK1000: unknown error at 00A14372; consult documentation for technical support options
========== Rebuild All: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========
Yet I looked at :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE
I have the same folder under C:\Program Files..., and IDE is almost empty; doesn't have the ms libraries.
How can I know where Visual Studio picks these dll from? I'm using VS2012.
hey all, I just installed VC 2010 Premium Beta2 on my system and I migrated my old vc9 projects to it... everything seemed ok at first...
what's strange is that no matter what I compile I get the following error message:
1> Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 6.00.8447
1> Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1992-1998. All rights reserved.
1>
1> ■/
1>LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option "ERRORREPORT:PROMPT"; ignored
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file " ■/.obj"
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
the warning about errorreport is a little annoying but non-fatal... annoying because no matter which errorreport setting I choose, the warning stays... however the LNK1181 is fatal and even more frustrating because it seems to have no detectable cause.
my input list contains no .obj files, only various .lib files... furthermore, there is that strange block-like special ascii character in the name which I've certainly never typed anywhere. initially when this showed up I thought it must be some artifact of the vc9 to vc10 migration... and after spending 2 hours looking all over for the cause, it occurred to me to test whether or not it occurs with brand new projects... well sure enough it does!!
I create a BRAND NEW project... involving no migration, nada... just a brand new win32 project with the default afx files and so forth... I don't change any default setting and it gets this exact same linker error!
I hope somebody here can shed some light because this is very mysterious... at the moment the only other diagnostic method I can think of is to try to create a new workspace and add a new project to that and see if that works... ok just tried that and no dice... problem still persists.
anybody have some advice or seen this before?
You have an old copy of your pre-processor or linker (cl.exe, link.exe) in your system path.
