ID: Q141160

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95 Device Driver Kit (DDK)

SUMMARY

To successfully compile a printer driver , it is absolutely necessary that the build environment is set correctly. The tools required for the successful compilation of a printer driver are:

Microsoft C Compiler, version 6.0 or higher
Microsoft Macro Assembler, version 6.11 ( ML.EXE )
Microsoft Segmented Executable Linker, version 5.60.339 ( LINK.EXE )

MORE INFORMATION

The Microsoft assembler and the linker are not provided with the Windows 95 DDK. They have to be installed separately as a separate product.

The environment variables should point to the following directories:

   INCLUDE = \ddk\printer\inc; \ddk\inc16; \mstools\inc16;
   \mstools\include; \masm611\include; \ddk\inc32; \msvc\include;
   LIB = \ddk\lib; \mstools\lib16; \masm611\lib; \msvc\lib;
   PATH = \ddk\bin; \masm611\bin; \mstools\binw16; \msvc\bin
