Hi,
I am trying to create a simple driver - something I can register and watch a printed "Driver loaded!" using debugview from sysinternals.
I'm using a Windows 8.1 64bit host machine, and tried to compile the driver using Code::Blocks Kernel Mode Development and GNU GCC compiler.
The compiled driver turned out to be specifically for 32bit systems, and I know that because sc.exe returned error 1275 which I searched on the web.
I tried to use WDK's ntddk.h file, but it is not supported by GNU GCC.
Please not that I am not interested in using Visual Studio for the task.
Thanks for answers !

Are you sure you've installed GCC capable to produce 64bit executables?
Why aren't you interested in using the visual studio compiler?
Do you know you can use C::B to compile with this compiler?

1 - No, I'm not sure I've installed such GCC. How can I be?
2 - It's not that I'm not interested in it -- I am not interested in the VS ide.
3 - Yes, I do.

Learn about the C++ Compiler you are using!
Learn whether it can do what you want to do!
2 - It's not that I'm not interested in it -- I am not interested in the VS ide.
3 - Yes, I do.
So, you know that the Visual Studio Compiler can be used with the CB IDE.

Hint: GNU GCC is for Linux. For Windows you must use a "GCC for Windows". Look for MinGW or MinGW-64 or TDM-GCC or some one else.

I'm using C::B's GCC compiler which is MinGW

you can try the mingw64 fork. It is more up to date with the windows sdk then the normal mingw or tdm mingw that ships with c::b
*) If you want to use the mingw64 fork you have to uninstall all mingw related compiler from your system. If you are using the c::b version what is shiped with a preinstalled compiler you have to uninstall it, and install a version without compiler. Then install the mingw64 compiler and set up codeblocks so it can find the executables ( Settings->Compiler->Toolchain executables )
NOTE: i am not quite sure if mingw64 supports the windows driver sdk, you have to google it
NOTE2: i think for driver development you need the windows sdk, and for this you have to use the windows compiler
*) You can have multiple compiler installed, but especially with mingw this is a thing for advanced user, and i don't have the time to write a step by step guide of how to do it.

I tried to install mingw64, it seems I have to compile it using GNUWin's 'Make', but I fail in doing it. Could you help me?

i didn't had to do any compiling...
Download win_build and install it... (you have to klick on the "process" button on the right top)
http://win-builds.org/doku.php/download_and_installation_from_windows
Then you have to set up the compiler:
1) Start codeblocks
2) Settings->Compiler
3) Selected compiler: "GNU GCC Compiler" -> Copy -> Enter the name "Mingw64_win_build" -> OK -> OK
4) Selected compiler: "Mingw64_win_buils" -> Toolchain executables
5) Compilers installation directory -> ... -> Browse to the installation directory of win_build and there to the "bin" sub folder -> Ok
6) remove the "mingw32-" part from the Program Files -> Ok
7) Create a new project but select "Mingw64_win_buils" when asked for the Compiler
7b) if you want to migrate a existing project:
1) Project-> Build options->On the left select your project (top most entry)->Selected compiler->"Mingw64_win_buils"-> Yes -> Ok
2) !!!!! Make a full rebuild !!!!! -> Build->Rebuild
i hope this helps

I managed to do it, but I still get error 1275 .. I'm using the following as ntddk.h source: https://sourceforge.net/u/earnie/winapi/winapi/ci/master/tree/

Do you have any reason to believe "https://sourceforge.net/u/earnie/winapi/winapi/ci/master/tree/" is 64 bit instead of 32 bit the way it looks to me?

No, but I can't find a 64bit one
