The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows version 3.1

SUMMARY

The makefile for the HOOKS sample in the Microsoft C/C++ version 7.0 Software Development Kit (SDK) contains two errors that prevent the proper reporting of hook messages.

SYMPTOMS

All messages are reported as unknown, and LoadString() failures are reported under the debug kernel of Windows.

CAUSE

The parameters to the resource compiler are incorrect in the makefile, and the .RES file is missing from one set of dependencies.

RESOLUTION

Line 68 of MAKEFILE reads as follows: 

   $(DLLNAME).dll: $(DLLSRCS:.c=.obj) $(DLLNAME).def
Change it to read as follows: 

   $(DLLNAME).dll: $(DLLSRCS:.c=.obj) $(DLLNAME).def $(DLLNAME).res
Line 95 of MAKEFILE reads as follows: 

   $(RC) -T $(DLLNAME).dll $(DLLNAME).res
Change it to read as follows: 

   $(RC) -T $(DLLNAME).res $(DLLNAME).dll

STATUS

This problem has been corrected in Visual C++.
