The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Not able to compile test program 'WrapiTest.cpp'  provided by WRAPI

Asked by aiyemem in Programming for 802.11x Wireless Standard, 802.11 Wireless Access Points, Microsoft Visual C++

Tags: , , , , ,

I am trying to access the 802.11 driver to find the signal strengths of all access points in range. JWRAPI and WRAPI are the options I have to implement this. While I could not obtain the binary files for JWRAPI, I have not been able to get the WRAPI library work.

Basically I am not able to compile the test program (WrapiTest.cpp ) provided by the WRAPI (http://sysnet.ucsd.edu/pawn/wrapi/download.html).

Here are the steps I ve followed.

1. created a new project/workspace in visual c++ 6
2.Placed WRAPI.lib WRAPI.dll  and WrapiExports.h in the project folder
3.downloaded the Windows Server 2003 SP1 DDK (http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/ddk/default.mspx)
4.Included 'C:\WINDDK\3790.1830\INC\WXP' in the tools->options->Directories


When I try to compile WrapiTest.cpp , i get the foll error msg
"c:\winddk\3790.1830\inc\wxp\ntddndis.h(80) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'NDIS_OID'
c:\winddk\3790.1830\inc\wxp\ntddndis.h(80) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found
Error executing cl.exe."


What is this error msg about, how can I solve this ?

In the thread http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Handhelds_-_PDAs/802_11x_Dev/Q_21250950.html Opanza suggests that using SDK solves the problem. I dont know how an SDK is different from DDK and also which version of SDK to use(if at all using SDK instead of DDK will work )


Note: I had also tried steps 3 and 4 with the latest WDK(Windows Vista RTM       6000.16386.061101-2205 ), that did not help either
