You are attempting to link MFC into a driver? I assume this as a possibility
since you mention DDK in a response to someone making reference to MFC.
Simply stated --- you CANNOT do that and if you get a good link you will die
a miserable blue death when you run it. MFC is NOT supported in the DDK and
the DDK is NOT supported in the MFC. If you want to use a class library in
the kernel then look to either Compuware's Driver Studio (2K+) or Hollistech
(free).
