Hello,
Trying to compile the HID_Client1 (at the utilities folder) project using the studio 2008. It wouldnt pass as some h files seem to miss. Is it because it should run on VC++6 ?
Any idea?
Thanks Aqua
Wouldn't it be a good idea to mention the names of the missing header files?
That would allow people with the old or new M$ compiler to potentially recognize the names and mention what compiler version they come from, or if they are supplied with any DDK or similar.
Right, both files are:
setupapi.h hidsdi.h
Best Regards
Free WinDDK is downloaded from this MS link. "DDK - Windows Driver Development Kit" on MS WHDC www.microsoft.com/.../default.mspx
On this page, find this link. "Download the Windows Server 2003 SP1 DDK [236 MB ISO file]" download.microsoft.com/.../1830_usa_ddk.iso
You have to burn it to CD-R for the WinDDK installer, (or mount the ISO image directly using utility).
After installation, the header files are here. C:\WINDDK\3790.1830\inc\w2k [wxp, wnet]
Select one, according to the target OS version. Also add hid.lib and setupapi.lib in this folder to the linker setting. C:\WINDDK\3790.1830\lib\w2k [wxp, wnet]
As of VC6, I'm afraid that the recent WinDDK doesn't match to VC6. WinDDK has introduced so many change all over to the essential header files, like WinBase.h, referred in the HID headers. These change introduce many conflicts to the original VC6 headers.
Visit this site for the book, "USB Design by Example" from Intel Press. www.intel.com/.../download.htm
You'll find excerpts for HID headers from Win2k DDK on the Intel Press site. www.intel.com/.../FromDDK.htm
These header files fit to VC6 well.
