Getting Started : Chapter 2 Building the Libraries : Manifest Files
Manifest Files
Manifest files are used to determine the correct MFC and CRT dynamic link libraries to load. Each compiler has a distinct version of these libraries. The file ManifestDefs.h is used to dynamically generate appropriate manifest information used in the compilation of the libraries and samples. This file is located in the <stingray-installdir>\Include directory.
ManifestDefs.h should be included at the end of the stdafx.h file for both applications and samples.
