SYMPTOMSThe README.TXT file in the \MSVC\MFC directory shipped with Visual C++ version 1.5 is a duplicate of the README.TXT file in the \MSVC\MFC\SRC directory. The correct file is included with Visual C++ version 1.51.
MORE INFORMATIONThe \MSVC\MFC subdirectory contains the source code and sample code for the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) library version 2.5. The contents of the MFC subdirectory are as follows:
\INCLUDE This directory contains MFC 2.5 header files, inline function definitions, resource definitions, help contexts, and resource IDs. These files are used by both the MFC 2.5 source code and by applications built using MFC 2.5. \LIB This directory contains the static link libraries for MFC 2.5 and the import libraries for the shared DLLs. If you decide to build custom variants of the MFC 2.5 libraries, they will be placed in this directory as well. \SAMPLES This directory contains all of the MFC 2.5 sample applications. There is an "MFC Samples Help" program item in Visual C++ group in Program Manager which can be used to get the descriptions of all the sample applications and any information required to build them. A Program Manager group named "MFC Samples on CDROM" is also available to run the samples. The batch file MKSAMPLE.BAT also is provided for building most of the samples in one step from the command line. Before running this batch file, be sure to correctly set up your INCLUDE and LIB environment variables. To set up your environment variable, run the file MSVCVARS.BAT in the \MSVC\BIN directory. Three of the sample applications must be built by hand because they require variants of the MFC 2.5 library that are not built by the installation. Refer to "MFC Samples Help" program item in the Visual C++ group in Program Manager for more information. \SRC This directory contains the source code for the Microsoft Foundation Classes version 2.5. There is a README.TXT in this subdirectory that describes the specifics involved in building MFC 2.5 library variants. A file called MAKEFILE is supplied to build MFC 2.5 library variants. In addition, in this directory are several binary files used to build MFC 2.5. Three static link libraries (.LIB files) that have the implementation of VBX controls are also contained in this directory. Six module definition files for rebuilding the MFC 2.5 shared DLLs are included as well. |
