Both eCS and MCP ship with copies of the OS/2 Warp4.5 toolkit. The
toolkit supplies all the headers and librarys and supplemental tools
needed to build and OS/2 application. The commercial Watcom ships with an
older version of this toolkit. The JDK Toolkit serves much the same
purpose for Java development, but it's not what you need to use at the
moment.

Just point at the newest one. That should be fine. Libraries don't
contain code, per se. They contain descriptions of what is the associated
DLL. In this case, the associated DLL's are the kernel DLL's that
implement the routines you are missing (i.e. DosExit and so forth).

We can talk about why the DDK code is such an organizational mess when the
Programming SIG gets together to write a device driver. :-)
