Introduction

This overview provides information about how the build environment is structured. The Microsoft® Windows® 95 Device Driver Kit (DDK) uses a batch file to set up environment variables for locating tools, libraries, and include files. You will also have to run batch files to set up for MASM version 6.11c and Visual C++ version 4.0, or you may want to combine all of these batch files into one. (They set the PATH, LIB, and INCLUDE environment variables.)

Important

You will need to increase the environment size and install MASM version 6.11c before you begin. For more information, see Introduction to Installation.

Example

If you wanted to set up the build environment for 32-bit network driver development and were using Visual C++ version 4.0 and MASM version 6.11c, you would type the following command lines:

pathtoddk\ddkenv 32 network

pathtovc4bin\vcvars32 x86

pathtomasmbin\new-vars
