- basic question about porting 32 bit driver to 64 bit windows
- Posted by rkhazin on October 4th, 2005
Can a 64 bit driver be build on a 32 bit windows 2000 machine with the
w2k server 2003 sp1 ddk? Or must the 64 bit driver be build on a
machine running 64 bit windows?

You can build a 64 bit driver on a 32-bit host.

Thanks.
Is there an FAQ or guide somewhere that details what I will need to
change in my VC project and source code in order to build it into a 64
bit driver? Things such as preprocessor definitions, compile and link
settings, etc.? I've already installed the latest w2k server 2003 sp1
ddk on my W2K development machine but didn't see any 64 bit driver
samples to experimwnt with.
Thanks.

Well this is why most of use BUILD or DDKBUILD to driver a BUILD script.
Trying to get the settings right in Visual Studio are a pain, especially
since the compiler has to be the one from the DDK.
