macro for sources file

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

What is the general way of setting up path for include files in SOURCES. I
cannot use relative path because my workspace is in different drive than the
WDK installation.

My include directory is C:\winddk\6000\inc\ddk. I want some macro to define
WDK directory c:\winddk\6000. I want a macro that will work even if new
version come up like c:\winddk\7000.

I didnot find anything like ddk-root-dir or base-directory.

You should not need one. If you use the build enviroments (or setenv) the
system will look in the inc directory of the WDK on its own. You only use
include directives for things outside of the normal WDK include
directories.

I am writing a dll which I compile along with my driver project. I need some
security APIs in the dll which are defined in inc/ddk directory. when I
compile in build environment, I have to give C:\winddk\6000\inc\ddk in
include file path explicitly. My log file otherwise show include path only to
.....inc\api path.

Is there a macro to refer "C:\winddk\6000" directory.

Thanks.

Use DDK_INC_PATH this will point to inc\ddk for the given environment.

I want to clarify my previous post.

I am writing a usermode dll that I compile along with kernel mode driver in
a driver build environment.
