Hi,

I am developing ata miniport dirver.
I am using DDK(7600) to buid the driver for Winodes 7. I get some build errors saying unresolved symbols.
Does anyone have the same experience and know how to solve the issue?

Build error as follows:

C:\MyAtapi>build -cZe

You need also include ATAport.lib in TARGETLIBS.

To find a .lib file that contains a symbol:

Cd \winddk\7600.16385\lib
Findstr /msi AtaPortCon .lib

Then you can list of .lib files that have symbol.
Then you can add that lib to your sources file.

Probably it is ataport.lib

I checked, In ataport.lib its counterpart
AtaPortConvertPhysicalAddressToUlong avaliable but not
AtaPortConvertUlongToPhysicalAddress :frowning:

I looked again both ATAport.lib and PCIIDEX.lib. Seems this function is missed from publishing. You may need a work around of avoiding this API.
