Hi Andi,
I had the same problem compiling ms\uplink.c. I fixed it by adding to CFLAG in ntdll.mak the directories for the missing headers.
In my case:

-I. -I”c:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK”\include -I”c:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform

SDK”\include\crt

Hi,

I got the same problem today. After searching for the ml64.exe I found it included in the WINDDK-Package.

That helped me to do: “ms\do_win64a”.

But compiling with “nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak” afterwards gave me another error:

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: ‘”D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\cl.EXE”‘ :
return code ‘0xc0000135′
Stop.

Starting cl.exe told me it was missing mspdb80.dll. So I copied that to the same folder with the cl.exe.
I found that in F:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\VSA\8.0\VsaEnv.

Ok, cl.exe worked so far.
But now it seems the compiler doesn’t find the include-dirs with windows.h, etc.

ms\uplink.c(11) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: ‘windows.h’: No such file or directory
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: ‘”D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\cl.EXE”‘ :
return code ‘0×2′
Stop.

I confident of fixing that problem tomorrow and will then post again. It’s time for going home now! :-)

Post I you find something in the meantime
