Well, it seems that UNICODE and _UNICODE are platform defined and if these have been defined, then wxUSE_UNICODE is forced. As a wxWidgets user you should set the wxUSE_UNICODE if you need UNICODE support. Now the question remains: Should we set wxUSE_UNICODE in the FindwxWidgets module when using mswu configuration (i.e., unicode libraries)? I think that this will depend on whether or not there is a legitimate use of unicode libraries with the wxUSE_UNICODE set to 0. John, could you ask this in the wxWidgets mailing list and cc me to keep track of the thread? Any other thoughts? --Miguel _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
