Summary:
The "Microsoft Windows Device Development Kit Installation and Update
Guide" for version 3.0 is in error regarding the installation of
header files. In Section 3.6 on page 3-3, the following sentence
incorrectly instructs the user to copy Microsoft Windows Device
Development Kit (DDK) header files into a Microsoft Windows Software
Development Kit (SDK) directory:
You should add the appropriate Windows INCLUDE and header files to
the Windows 3.0 \INCLUDE directory that you created during the SDK
Install procedure.
The correct procedure is to update the MS-DOS INCLUDE environment
variable, and not to physically copy any files.
In general, it is necessary to update the LIB and INCLUDE environment
variables during the SDK installation to refer to the SDK INCLUDE
directory (by default, C:\WINDEV\INCLUDE) before any other
directories. Then, during the DDK installation, update these
environment variables to refer to the DDK directories before the SDK
directories.
The virtual device INCLUDE directory need not be placed in the INCLUDE
environment variable because the corresponding MAKE files refer to the
directory explicitly. This is stated in Section 3.7 of Installation
and Update Guide (on page 3-4). However, the example included is also
in error. The MAKE file line shown is as follows:
..\..\..\INCLUDE\SAMPLE.INC
However, this line should read as follows:
..\INCLUDE\SAMPLE.INC
