Matt, thank you so much for your answer. Indeed, the original makefile for
the 'simple' sample contains the following:
========= START QUOTE =========
!IF DEFINED(_NT_TARGET_VERSION)
! IF $(_NT_TARGET_VERSION)>=0x501
! INCLUDE $(NTMAKEENV)\makefile.def
! ELSE
# Only warn once per directory
! INCLUDE $(NTMAKEENV)\makefile.plt
! IF "$(BUILD_PASS)"=="PASS1"
! message BUILDMSG: Warning : The sample "$(MAKEDIR)" is
not
valid for the current OS target.
! ENDIF
! ENDIF
!ELSE
! INCLUDE $(NTMAKEENV)\makefile.def
!ENDIF
========== END QUOTE ==========
So, just for a quick test I (temporarily) changed it to a single line
makefile:
! INCLUDE $(NTMAKEENV)\makefile.def
And it started compiling some cpp files until it stopped with the error:
NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make
'c:\winddk\6000\lib\w2k\i386\stdunk.lib'
I quickly found stdunk.lib' in
C:\WinDDK\6000\src\audio\stdunk\objfre_w2k_x86\i386, so I copied it to the
'c:\winddk\6000\lib\w2k\i386 folder just to see whether the build can pass.
It passed that stage but then additional errors occurred:
c:\winddk\6000\src\audio\msvad\simple\minwave.cpp(613) : error C2065:
'KSAUDIO_SPEAKER_5POINT1_SURROUND' : undeclared identifier
c:\winddk\6000\src\audio\msvad\simple\minwave.cpp(614) : error C2065:
'KSAUDIO_SPEAKER_7POINT1_SURROUND' : undeclared identifier
I guess that all these issues can be ironed out, but for now here is my take
on this:
1. I now understand why Microsoft commented out the W2K build in the
makefile.
2. I don't understand why Microsoft does not even hint in its documentation
that the MSVAD samples are essentially blocked for W2K.
3. I was hoping to use those sample as a learning vehicle for a beginner
like me. I guess I will stick with the XP version, until I develop some
confidence (deep understanding) in tweaking various parameters in the build
process.
Thanks again - I am now going to delve into deep learning...

You can build it for Windows 2000 by changing the makefile. You also
may need to remove support for KSPROPERTY_SYSAUDIO_COMPONENT_ID, but I'm
not 100% sure about that.
