Library Naming Conventions
The latest version of this topic can be found at Library Naming Conventions.
Object-code libraries for MFC use the following naming conventions. The library names have the form
uAFXcWd.LIB
where the letters shown in italic lowercase are placeholders for specifiers whose meanings are shown in the following table:
Library Naming Conventions
| Specifier | Values and meanings |
|---|---|
| u | ANSI (N) or Unicode (U) |
c |
Type of program to create: C=all |
d |
Debug or Release: D=Debug; omit specifier for Release |
The default is to build a debug Windows ANSI application for the Intel platform: NAFXCWD.Lib. All libraries listed in the following table are included prebuilt in the \atlmfc\lib directory on the Visual C++ CD-ROM.
Static-Link Library Naming Conventions

| UAFXCW.LIB | MFC Static-Link Library with Unicode support, Release version |
| UAFXCWD.LIB | MFC Static-Link Library with Unicode support, Debug version |
Note
If you need to build a library version, see the Readme.Txt file in the \atlmfc\src\mfc directory. This file describes using the supplied makefile with NMAKE.
