using CMake for making a project which includes MFC

Question

I have a project in which I have to use a COM Module which uses MFC. I use CMake for making my project. Can anybody tell me what I have to include into my CMakeLists.txt so that I can use MFC in my project?

Answer 1

You need to add _AFXDLL to the preprocessor definitions and set the CMake variable CMAKE_MFC_FLAG to 1 for the static MFC library, or 2 for the shared one.

add_definitions(-D_AFXDLL)
set(CMAKE_MFC_FLAG 1)

For further info run

cmake --help-variable CMAKE_MFC_FLAG
