ntifs.h help

[ddk@msn.com]

I have DDK 3790 installed and I'm trying to compile some code but I
always get an error
...... ntifs.h is there!(C:\WINDD K\3790\ifs\w2k\ ntifs.h)
(BUILD Version: 0097)
I just copied the files from another computer.... maybe I need to do an
install. (don't have the orignal prog)
Is there a way to set ntifs.h to work?

Error
c:\cesource\BKK ernel\BKDrvr.c( 9) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open
include file: 'C:\WINDDK\3790 \ifs\ntifs.h': No such file or directory

Ouch.

This probably means that there is no such file or directory.

Well, those two paths are NOT the same.

On top of that, it's a bad idea to include headers with absolute paths in
general. For exactly those reasons.

I'm new, can you spoon feed me as to how I should include the headers?

Thanks... your a lot sharper than Alf P .......LOL

You really shouldn't be copying ntifs.h from somebody else's system when you
don't have a license to use that file.

It's part of the Windows Installable File Systems Development Kit, if I
recall, which you have to PAY to get.

There is a free version from the GNU project that would probably work as
well.

Buck I am new and didn't have to copy the files(even that I own the
other box), just didn't include them in the install!!
I know I should not smoke or drink or speed or breath contaminated air

I'm dumb>>>>> and no one asked that question... got the free ver
couldn't get it to work

-path fixed..thanks Matt
-how I should include the headers?

You have to tell the compiler in which paths he should look for header
files. The way this is done depends on which compiler you're using.
For gcc (and mingw32 respectively), you have to specify the include
directories with -Ixyz.
Then you can simply #include <ntifs.h> and the compiler will figure out
itself where to look for this header.
For MSVC++ I don't know, check out the documentation for more details.
