visual studio – How to solve this WDK build incorrectness: ‘build’ is not recognized as an internal or external command


How to correct
'build' is not recognized as an internal or external command
when trying to compile/build a project that’d perform ext2/3/4 filesystem accession on Windows
https://sourceforge.net/p/ext2fsd/code/ci/Ext3Fsd-0.69/tree/

The third part of it (denoted by message output prefix: 3> ) is about the WDK, ie. the Windows’ DDK (Driver Development Kit) based build

So then use MS Visual Studio Community 2022 into which the project is upgraded (its .sln, .vcproj files) afterward and build it:

3>OSR DDKBUILD.CMD V7.4/r43 (2009-11-12) - OSR, Open Systems Resources, Inc.
3>The system cannot find the path specified.
3>DDKBLD: W7XP (free) using the Windows 7/Windows 2008 Server R2 DDK and %W7BASE%
3>DDKBLD: Directory: C:\Users\abdu\Downloads\ext2fsd\Ext3Fsd + argument(s): -cZ
3>DDKBLD: W7BASE: C:\WINDDK\7600.16385.1
3>DDKBLD: Run build -M -Ze -cZ for free version in .
3>'build' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
3>operable program or batch file.
3>
3>DDKBLD: Build complete
3>DDKBLD: Building browse information files

This’s not regarded as error though, which’s befuddling
But still need on how to correct ‘build’ reference to find it an executable up to error free build process.
Thanks before.
