CMAKE_MFC_FLAG

Use the MFC library for an executable or dll.

Enables the use of the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC). It should be set to 1 for the static MFC library, and 2 for the shared MFC library. This is used in Visual Studio project files.

Contents of CMAKE_MFC_FLAG may use :manual:generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>.

Examples ^^^^^^^^

Usage example:

.. code-block:: cmake

set(CMAKE_MFC_FLAG 2)

add_executable(CMakeSetup WIN32 ${SRCS})

Visual Studio generators add this flag automatically based on the

CMAKE_MFC_FLAG value, but generators matching "Make" require it:

target_compile_definitions(CMakeSetup PRIVATE _AFXDLL)
