Jucequake + Use MFC in a Static Library = unresolved symbols

General JUCE discussion
1

When I use the modules tip I cannot set the VS2010 Option to “Use MFC in a static library” anymore. If I do so, I get a lot of unresolved symbols.
When I set it to “Use Windows standard libraries” everything works fine but unfortunately I have to use the MFC in a static library for some projects.
This problem did not exist before I switched to the modules style.

Any hints how to make it work for MFC in a static library again?

I would drop the use of MFC altogether, if that is an option for you…

…is Microsoft still supporting / promoting that?

I do agree with Vinnie that you should avoid MFC like the plague, but it’s puzzling, and I can’t think of any reason why it’d fail like that. It seems to just not be linking to the win32 libraries, so none of the system calls are available. There’s nothing in my code that behaves differently based on MFC, but perhaps there’s some kind of preprocessor definition that MSVC needs to have set when you use MFC, so that the window.h headers behave correctly. But sorry, I’m not an expert on the subtleties involved in building MFC applications!

I’m pretty sure if you keep jiggering with the Visual Studio settings and the project settings on the modules (if you’re using a separate file for the modules) then you will eventually stumble on the magic combination that gets it working. Just keep playing with it.

Maybe in the end it’ll be easier to get rid of the MFC stuff than sorting these errors out.
I should have done that a long time ago.
Thanks
