Can't find MFC afx.h

[John Westerman]

Hi Everybody,

I'm currently trying to compile the basic Win32 "Hello world" project that
VC6 generates for you using Wine.

My problem is that when I run ./configure -with-wine=/usr/local/wine

It fails with the Message "checking for afx.h .... Could not find the MFC
includes"

However this file is located in /usr/local/wine/include/mfc.

I got afx.h and the other headers by directly copying them from my Dos
partition at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\MFC\Include

I have even renamed these files to be lowercase.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in Advance,

John Westerman

Is this application really an MFC application? Winemaker will assume 
that an application is an MFC application if it sees that it uses the 
'StdAfx.h' header. However by default Visual C++ also uses this header 
for its (evil) precompiled header tricks.
So you may want to re-run winemaker with the --nomfc option.

Great - I also ran into that problem.

As part of the winelib applications challange
http://www.dssd.ca/wine/Winelib-Apps-0.2.html
I have downloaded some *random* applications form sourceforge 
and have no idea if they use MFC

Is there a way to find out more precise if an application 
really uses MFC
???
