How to develop and build a driver under vc6.0

Hi All!
how can I develop and build a driver under vc6.0? what I'm doing now
is just the editing on vc, and then run build from a ddk-set command line.
What are the settings to make the compiler build a driver?
Thanks,

There is utility which will convert your DDK Sources
file into VC 6.0 workspace .dsw file and then u can
build ur driver from vc editor. but i don't know
whether that utility is propeitry ... search on the
net...the utility has some limitations...like it
cannot work for ... drivers of type EXPORT....
may be some one can put some more light..
but it is possible to build from vc 6.0

The first is to create 'external makefile' projects for your drivers. I
wrote an article for OSR's NtInsider a few years ago describing this
process. An updated on-line description of this process is available on my
website www.hollistech.com along with an associated shell script called
ddkbuild.bat.
The second method is to use one of the various driver wizards or converters.
There are links in my article to these utilities and my brief explanation of
why I won't use them.

reading your web page I found following paragraph about bscmake -n:
The second line sets the name of the .bsc file to our project
target name. We also sneak in the '-n' option to
BscMake here so that Bscmake does NOT truncate .sbr files. This is
just the opposite behavior from the default
VisualStudio behavior, but unless you have a very slow processor
and a very small hard drive I strongly suggest
you follow what I'm doing up above. You will be much happier.
I always want to be happier but don't understant why it better to use -n.
Could you explain it? I'm using BSC information created using BROWSER_INFO=1
only for years and never had any problem.
Thanks.

Ah, yes now I remember. Here's the thing: what I tend to do a lot with big
projects is to have bsc files for each component, and then parent bsc files
for groups of components. I can then 'change my focus' in visual studio by
picking a higher-level project, and pick up an associated bsc file that
covers all the subcomponents. There are hooks in ddkbuild for generating
these high level bsc files.
Truncating the sbr files makes this impossible. The default model for
bscmake is a simple small project. Once the sbr file is truncated it cannot
be re-used.
I do have on my list of things to do a much longer article on the
development process. Unfortunately I have to go out raise cash. When I do
get it done it will cover this stuff in more detail.

An updated version of ddkbuild.bat and documentation on how to use it is
available at www.hollistech.com
ddkbuild.bat now supports W2K features, and the documentation uses VC6.
