This is nice to know. The MFC has been subject of long threads here. It's good to know that we can give some alternatives when people ask. (My general idea is that people who minimally care with cross-compiler (not to mention cross-platform) compatibility would never choose to build an application upon MFC - and that's probably the reason for why MFC has been loosing some ground and interest... )

Also you guys might be insterested in the winemaker.pl script. It converts VS makefiles to UNIX makefiles and can configure your win32 application to be built with winelib+MFC. I may look at adapting it to

Mingw as part of the port

I once made a small sed script for that, but probably it's not as complete as winemaker.pl. But we do have a fairly complete MS Dev Studio workspace to Unix Makefiles converter. It's availabable on http://mefriss1.swan.ac.uk/~jfonseca/gnu-win32/software/msds/ and it will soon be included on a "mingw-utils" package. Perhaps that might be interesting for the WINE Lib project too?
