Path contains nonexistant c:\winddk\tools\sdv

[andrew_...@yahoo.com]

I am fairly new to c programming.

Got these error messages and the actual path is below them.
I can see that the path is missing some directories that I take are needed.

How can I get it to compile ? There are a few question that in the next section.

Thanks.

makefile

This is someone elses makefile for the driver.

Does sources have to have the complete path ?

!INCLUDE $(NTMAKEENV)\makefile.def
sources

TARGETNAME=bangbangbust
TARGETTYPE=DRIVER
TARGETPATH=obj
SOURCES = bangbangbust.c

You need to install the Windows driver kit. It looks like either you
haven't done that yet, or you installed the Windows 8 WDK, which no longer
uses "sources" and "makefile" at all.

No, but it needs to be run on a system that has the Windows driver kit
installed, and it needs to be run with a WDK "build environment". When you
install the WDK (prior to Windows 8), it creates Start Menu shortcuts for
you for the various versions. For example, "Build Environments" ->
"Windows 7" -> x86 Checked Build Environment.
