You can open the extensions.sln file in the IDE and build the solution.
* The kernel datapath can be compiled from command line as well. The top
level 'make' will invoke building the kernel datapath, if the
'--with-vstudioddk' argument is specified while configuring the package.
For example,
% ./configure CC=./build-aux/cccl LD="`which link`" LIBS="-lws2_32" \

--enable-ssl --with-openssl="C:/OpenSSL-Win32" \
--with-vstudioddk="<WDK to use>"
Possible values for "<WDK to use>" are:
"Win8.1 Debug", "Win8.1 Release", "Win8 Debug" and "Win8 Release".
Installing the Kernel module

The above path assumes that the kernel module has been built using Windows
DDK 8.1 in Debug mode. Change the path appropriately, if a different WDK
has been used.
