[vbox-dev] compiling error (__alloca_probe_16)

[Huihong Luo]

I spent the whole day trying to figure out, but the error still exists. I installed your version of DDK and windows SDK. So it seems must be my VC++ version, vs 2005 is somehow different from yours. I am using the VS2005 team suite.
 
I noted that when a windows kernel driver is compiled, the standard vc include path are still used, e.g. see below
 
not sure if this has anything to do with it. 
 
this file contains _alloca_probe_16, but not available on kernel driver library.
