Win SP1 XP DDK error

Can someone tell me what the following error means:

Linking c:\sio0_ezmon directory ********************
'nmake.exe /c BUILDMSG=Stop. -i LINKONLY=1 NOPASS0=1
NTTEST= UMTEST= 386=1'
NMAKE : U1073: don't know how to make 'C:\WINDDK\lib\i386
\free\usbd.lib'

I am trying to rebuild one of Cypress's USB drivers using
the Windows XP SP1 DDK in a checked environment can't
figure this one out. Thanks. JSS

You don't have that library.

What's in the SOURCES file for the sio0_ezmon driver?

The most likely problem is that their sources file was written for an
earlier version of the DDK. Library paths are specified rather differently
in the latest versions. The basic reason for this change seems to have
been to trip up driver developers.

Look for a TARGETLIBS block in the "sources" file. Change whatever
complicated symbols they use in the paths so they look like this:

TARGETLIBS=$(DDK_LIB_PATH)\usbd.lib \
$(DDK_LIB_PATH)\ntoskrnl.lib
