I am trying to see the beauty of MFC and get a hang of it, so therefore i browse through the samples they provided in MSDN.
When i build the super-mighty all-potent "SUPERPAD" sample app, i get the linker error message that library named mfcs42u.lib cannot be opened.
I searched for the file all over the place and found nothing, except other mfcs42*.lib with all kinds of terminations, except the one i need.
I found for example mfcs42D.lib...
Could someone tell me what the "D"'s and "U"'s stand for?
I would appreciate if anybody could send me the library, if you have it...
Thanks.

P.S. I looked into the project settings and found nothing that would include that file, so i don't have a clue how that gets included... It is sure from the Makefile, but that includes other makefiles and so forth...
The funny thing is that i replied several times to AdiMasher who has a similar (well... kindof) problem... [red]Nosferatu[/red]

This is the library files for Unicode.
Go in menu Build->SetActivConfiguration and select the Win32 Debug.
Then recompile everithing.

Hope this helps, s-)

Thanks Ionel... Gee... i went to the configurations menu and found some mess there... :).
I figured out that U is for Unicode, but... i couldn't quite get a hang of... the D...
Anyway, thanks again!

I figured it out:
D = DEBUG
U = UNICODE
