Compile Flags for WDM Lower Edge (NDIS 5.1)

  • Article

Note   NDIS 5. x has been deprecated and is superseded by NDIS 6. x. For new NDIS driver development, see Network Drivers Starting with Windows Vista. For information about porting NDIS 5. x drivers to NDIS 6. x, see Porting NDIS 5.x Drivers to NDIS 6.0.

This topic lists compile flags that must be included in the sourcesfile for an NDIS-WDM miniport driver in order to build the NDIS-WDM miniport driver. The following compile flags must be included:

  • -DNDIS_WDM=1

    Directs NDIS to include the appropriate WDM header file.

  • -DUSE_KLOCKS=1

    Directs spin locks of NDIS-WDM miniport drivers built for Windows 98/Me platforms to operate; otherwise, these spin locks do not operate.

As an alternative, compile flags can be embedded at the start of the miniport driver's source code before the ndis.hheader file is included.
