Building xfddx_3

All:

I tried building xfddx_3 on NT 4.0 using MSVC++ 6.0 and ran into the
following problem:

Compiling Precompiled Header - precomp.h for i386
xfddx_ddi.h(87) : error C2040: 'ULONG_PTR' : 'unsigned long *' differs in
levels of indirection from 'unsigned long'

The error line, 87, is
typedef PULONG ULONG_PTR;

As far as I understand it, this is not the erroneous line.  Instead the
error occurred at a place where ULONG_PTR is used.  Why does the compiler
report this line?

My setup seems ok since I can build the framebuf sample.

Thanks,


-Bernd
