Download mfc from the digitalmars website.
Extract the zip and maintain the directory structure.

There should be a directory called 'Projects' in de tree. This directory contains the idde projects and makefiles.

If you have a idde, load the appropriate project, check the include paths in the IDDE and the MFC libs are ready to be build.

When you don't have a idde you could use the <mfclib>.prj file to create your own makefile, or use the <mfclib>.mak file with smake. Also read the file : "Digital Mars C++ MFC port.txt".

Good Luck
Arjan

When I enter this line on the command prompt

smake  -f  allmfc.mak

 I get the following error:
unable to open input file  "altconv.h"

You also need the ATL archive from the digitalmars website and include the path to ATL\include to the project.

Thanks that was the problem , I have now added
ATL\include to my PATH in autoexec.bat.

Now it starts the build and is fine for a while and
then gets the following error :

Internal error :  cgobj 3034

You could also add the -I<path> to INCLUDES in the make-file

Does this happen when you use the allmfc.mak file?

If so why do you want to build all libs?
You probably only need the nafxcw.lib

Which libs is being build when the error occurs?

Succes
Arjan

I was using allmfc.mak because I wasnt sure
which libraries I need as im very new to C++

Now I have tried to build  nafxcw.mak and
I get the same error:

Internal error: cgobj 3034

Many thanks !

Phill
