title: Select "Use Unicode Character Set" in Gnu Makefile
body: <p>I have a long-standing application that I'm normally able to compile equally well from Visual Studio or from a makefile using Gnu Make (but still using the Microsoft C++ compiler).</p>
  
  <p>Recently I modified it by incorporating a third-party library. On trying to compile it for the first time from within Visual Studio, I obtained the common <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5480588/cannot-convert-parameter-1-from-char-to-lpcwstr">"C2664: ...cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char *' to 'LPCWSTR'"</a> error, which I resolved by going to the 'General' tab in the Project Properties dialog and selecting the "Use Unicode Character Set" option.</p>
  
  <p>I'd now like to compile the application from my makefile, but naturally I get the same error. Is there a compiler switch that I can use to have an equivalent effect to "Use Unicode Character Set", or any other way of effecting this from within the makefile?</p>
