@ -247,12 +247,15 @@ make linking work in this case, you must predefine @c wxMSVC_VERSION as @c
vc140 <em>before</em> include @c wx/setup.h file, i.e. typically in the MSVS
project options. Alternatively, you can predefine @c wxMSVC_VERSION_AUTO symbol
(without any value), which means that the appropriate compiler version should
be used automatically, e.g. "vc140" for VC 14 (MSVS 2015). Additionally,
VC 14 is a special case as it has (so far) 4 minor versions: VC 14.0, 14.1, 14.2
and 14.3, corresponding to MSVS 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2022; that are ABI-compatible
with each other. Due to this, it can also be useful to reuse the single build
of wxWidgets with all versions of the compiler and this is supported if
@c wxMSVC_VERSION_ABI_COMPAT is defined: the compiler prefix "vc14x" is used in this case.
be used automatically, e.g. "vc140" for MSVC 14.0 (MSVS 2015), "vc141" for MSVC
14.1 (MSVS 2017), "vc142" for MSVC 14.2 (MSVS 2019) and "vc143" for MSVC 14.3
(MSVS 2022).
Finally, there is also @c wxMSVC_VERSION_ABI_COMPAT symbol which can be
predefined to use the "vc14x" prefix ("x" is the literal letter "x" here and
not just a placeholder). This allows building the libraries with any of MSVC
14.x versions, that are ABI-compatible with each other, and using them when
using any later version.
If the makefiles have been used to build the libraries from source and the @c CFG
variable has been set to specify a different output path for that particular
