beginners question

Hi,
I’ve just started tampering into nt device drivers. I’m trying to build
sample drivers in the ddk2000. I keep getting this error.

I’ve executed
c:\ntddk\src\general\setup\install\build

(in buildchk.err)
c:\ntddk\inc\winresrc.h(40) : error RC1015: cannot open include file
‘dlgs.h’.
install\cvtres() : error CVT1101: cannot open objchk\i386\install.tmp for
reading
install\install.c(35) : error C1083: Cannot open include file: ‘tchar.h’: No
such file or directory

As far as I can tell, both dlgs.h and tchar.h are in my visual studio
include directories. The include path has also been set correctly.
Can some one mail me a complete but simple sample of a device driver. I
guess something that prints a message indicating the installation and
removal of driver should do.

This works for me just fine.

You have an installation or configuration problem. A sample will have
the same problem.
Installation order:
Visual C++
SDK
DDK

Hi,
I was informed that sdk is not necessary if visual studio is involved. Is
that correct? Downloading sdk will be a pain(having already downloaded ddk?

The XP ddk is complete - no compiler or sdk required. The w2k ddk
requires both the sdk and visual studio, although you only need a
minimal sdk.

NT4 DDK requires only SETENV.BAT from the SDK.
Put SETENV.BAT from the SDK (DDK also contains SETENV.BAT, but this is other file) to some directory. Then start command line and
type

set MSTOOLS=“directory with SETENV.BAT from the SDK”
cd “DDK directory”\bin
setenv “DDK directory” checked

Then CD to your source directory (with SOURCES or DIRS) and you can run BUILD.

w2k and XP DDK do not require SDK at all. Just start “Checked Build Environment” or “Free Build Environment” from the Start menu.
