WDK Error (Including ndis.h)

Hi
These days I'm working on writing driver. I've downloaded WDK version 7.1.0
from Microsoft download center and in my source code I include ndis.h but when I compile it these messages have been shown:

------ Build started: Project: sys_test, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
Compiling...
source.cpp
e:\wdk\ndis.h(2531) : error C2065: 'PAGE_SHIFT' : undeclared identifier
e:\wdk\ndis.h(2531) : error C2065: 'PAGE_SIZE' : undeclared identifier
e:\wdk\ndis.h(2531) : error C2065: 'PAGE_SIZE' : undeclared identifier
e:\wdk\ndis.h(2531) : error C2065: 'PAGE_SIZE' : undeclared identifier
e:\wdk\ndis.h(2531) : error C2065: 'PAGE_SHIFT' : undeclared identifier

Why does it say 'PAGE_SHIFT' and 'PAGE_SIZE' are undeclared? Is it necessary to include another header files?

Thanks

------------------------------------
I did the solution you said but this time the compiler couldn't detect my CPU architecture. I got these:

ClCompile:
  source.cpp
d:\winddk\7600.16385.1\inc\ddk\wdm.h(14198): fatal error C1189: #error :  "No target architecture defined"
Build FAILED.

But I know that my CPU architecture is x86.

Again, here's a decent article on why the "No target architecture defined" error comes up, there's environment variables missing that are usually set up by other files:

reason for 1: wrong answer look at my answer.

Albert Holguin 12-May-11 10:51am

you're wrong, you can still do it from studio...

Kurt Degiorgio 12-May-11 11:13am

yes but you need to configure the studio to do what i did below..

exactly

so how is my answer wrong? ...that's right, its not...

hmm seems that i clicked on the wrong link, i apologize I have seen to many bad advice on this forum when it comes to driver development and that I have assumed wrongly.

I changed my rating again to reflect this :)

in my defense my answer is correct as well. since it can be done with out visual studio. (most ppl do it like that)

Did you include wdm.h?
These constants are defined in that.

Why is the path to ndis.h showing e:\wdk\ndis.h?
On my machine it is C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.0\inc\ddk\ndis.h.

If you have copied the headers to the folder, it is the wrong way to do it.
You have to set the installed path in your project configuration.
