-All of these macros except for the @c wxUSE_XXX variety is defined if the

+@section page_cppconst_msvc_setup_h Library Selection for MSVC
Microsoft Visual C++ users may use the special @c wx/setup.h file for this
compiler in @c include/msvc subdirectory. This file implicitly links in all the
desirable, for example because some of them were not built and this is where
the symbols in this section can be helpful: defining them allows to not link
with the corresponding library. The following symbols are honoured:
+
- wxNO_ADV_LIB
- wxNO_AUI_LIB
- wxNO_HTML_LIB
Notice that the base library is always included and the core is always included
for the GUI applications (i.e. those which don't define @c wxUSE_GUI as 0).
+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
+configuration of build then the @c wxCFG preprocessor symbol should be set in
+the project that uses wxWidgets to the same value as the @c CFG variable in
+order for the correct @c wx/setup.h file to automatically be included for that
+configuration.
