exe using ddk

[chrisna]

Hello everybody,
I am new to this forum. At present I've started to use the microsoft ddk. Can anybody suggest me how can I build exe using ddk.
I am trying with the function "GdiGetSpoolFileHandle" but it gives me error:
"Linking...
example.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "void * __stdcall GdiGetSpoolFileHandle(unsigned short *,struct _devicemodeW *,unsigned short *)" (?GdiGetSpoolFileHandle@@YGPAXPAGPAU_devicemodeW@@0@Z)
Debug/example.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe."

Can anybody help me out....
Also I dont know how can I integrate ddk with my VC++ .net 2006.....

Thanks to all or you in advanced.

Regards,
chris.

The ddk that this forum is for is a ddk for boards manufactured by National Instruments. You need to find a microsoft forum.

Hi Chris

i dont know much about your error, but i know a method which has worked for me:

first you should have a main.c file. which has to have a function like this:


#include <windows.h>
#include <basetyps.h>
#include <windowsx.h>
#include <initguid.h>
#include <dbt.h>
// todo : some headers

int WINAPI
WinMain (
    HINSTANCE hInstance,
    HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
    LPSTR     lpszCmdLine,
    int       nCmdShow
)
{
//todo
}

then you should have two files to build the project:

1. "makefile"

#
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE!!!  Edit .\sources. if you want to add a new source
# file to this component.  This file merely indirects to the real make file
# that is shared by all the driver components of the Windows NT DDK
#

!INCLUDE $(NTMAKEENV)\makefile.def


2. "sources"

TARGETNAME=TODO
TARGETTYPE=PROGRAM
USE_MSVCRT=1

UMTYPE=windows
UMENTRY=winmain
UMBASE=0x1000000

_NT_TARGET_VERSION = 0x0501

TARGETLIBS=\
        $(SDK_LIB_PATH)\kernel32.lib    \
        $(SDK_LIB_PATH)\user32.lib      \
        $(SDK_LIB_PATH)\gdi32.lib       \
        $(SDK_LIB_PATH)\comctl32.lib    \
        $(SDK_LIB_PATH)\cfgmgr32.lib    \
        $(SDK_LIB_PATH)\setupapi.lib

#INCLUDES=C:\WinDDK\6000\inc;..\inc;..\..\inc

SOURCES=main.c

Then you can use "make" or "build" commands to build the project

I think it should work
