Hi,
this i think is a real basic one, but cant help it.
I have VC 6.0 loaded on my m/c, and i have installed NT 4.0 DDK, in it. I
dont have win32 sdk loaded . when i try to build a driver, it saying that
familiar MSTOOLS env. variable not set, plis load win32 sdk. sometime back,
in this group, i remember reading that, loading VC 6.0 is akin to loading
sdk, and dont need to laod sdk again.
so, what shld i do, to remove the build error…
tia,
chaitanya
It has got to do with ddk dependency on SDK.NT4.0 DDK is dependent on SDK
installation irrespective of VC version. setenv.bat looks for MSTOOLS env
variable.Windows 2000 DDK is not dependent on SDK and setenv.bat included
with it doesn’t search for MSTOOLS, so build will go thru w/o it.
thx

SDK is needed for NT4.0 ddk.
you can’t build a Nt4.0 driver without SDK.
however if your are using Win2000 ddk (for building for win2000), then SDK
is not neccessary.

This is correct, the NT 4.0 DDK install requires the Win32 SDK
install to have completed successfully on the development machine.
To avoid unneccesary disk usage we perform the following steps
when installing the Win32 SDK:
Run setup
select custom install
select dir
select only the development environment and tools (top check box)
select options for dev env (button to right)
deselect all options in the dialog
setup will create the directory, setenv.bat and setup the registry
The NT 4.0 DDK will then run and install
The only ‘requirements’ for NT 4.0 DDK are:
VC (we use 5 or 6)
SDK (installed as above)
DDK

Are you trying to run BUILD from a command line or letting Visual Studio do
the build? If your using BUILD then you have to properly install the SDK and
DDK.

I do all of my driver development, as projects, within Visual Studio. I
don’t even have an MSTOOLS or MSSDK directory on my system.
The only things needed for driver development for NT 4 or Win2k are Visual
C++ 6.0, which includes Visual Studio, and the proper DDK. I haven’t needed
to do a command line BUILD in well over 3 months. I was, for a time, running
BLD.BAT from a command line to build a library that contains our own kernel
mode API. Since I figured out how to out the lib in Visual Studio I don’t
need to do that anymore.
I have removed the checking for MSTOOLS variable, in the setenv.bat, and now
it is working fine. I did not install, win32 sdk, and i have VC6.0 installed
on m/c. and i am able to build drivers without any problem.
thanks everybody,
chaitanya

You need SETENV.BAT - in the SDK, not in MSVC.
Set MSTOOLS to the directory where this BAT file is placed.
