Hi all.
Please help to understand what are the differences between VC++ Standard
and Pro/Enterprice versions?
Can I compile drivers by SE version?
I'm asking this question 'cause I'm trying to compile DDK driver sample and
getting the errors.
If I do this from command line using DDK's build.exe I get the next:

BUILD: Compile and Link for i386
BUILD: Compiling and linking d:\work\msddk\ntddk\src\video\miniport\mirror
BUILD: NMAKE.EXE failed - rc = 2
BUILD: Done

With any of the current versions of the DDK, the compiler comes as part of
the package. You should be using the latest DDK for your work. If you do
not have the Windows Server 2003 SP1 DDK you can download it as part of the
WDF download at http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/wdf/KMDF_pkg.mspx

Using any compiler other than the one with the DDK, is just asking for bugs.

If you wish to use a Visual Studio IDE, then download DDKBUILD from either
OSROnLine or Hollistech and use a makefile project. But as Don said, you
must use the DDK compiler for driver work and BUILD is the simplest way of
doing that.

Thank you for your advises!
I have DDK 2000 SP1 which requires external make and link tools from VC++ Pro,
but I will try to find DDK 2003.
