How to build and install fltk:
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See the file win32/README for information for Windoze95/NT.
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Type "./configure", and then examine config.h and makeinclude.
|
||
|
|
1. Edit the file ./style.h to customize the appearance of fltk
|
||
|
|
3. Type "make", or (Linux and gcc only) type "make shared" to make
|
||
|
|
a shared library.
|
||
|
|
4. For shared libraries, type "setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $PWD/lib"
|
||
|
|
5. Test it by running "test/demo".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To install the new version of Fltk and fluid (this puts the library in
|
||
|
|
/usr/local/lib, the include files in /usr/local/include/FL, and fluid
|
||
|
|
into /usr/local/bin):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. If you made the shared version, type "unsetenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
|
||
|
|
2. Type "su" and then your password
|
||
|
|
3. Type "make install"
|
||
|
|
4. If you made the shared version, type "/sbin/ldconfig"
|
||
|
|
5. Type ^D to get out of su.

Use file:<here>/documentation/index.html to get started. Install
|
||
|
|
should put the documentation in /usr/doc/fltk but this is not yet

Get Mesa (necessary to run OpenGl on most Linux machines):

Window managers
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fltk now uses X transient windows for modal() windows. This may
|
||
|
|
confuse some window managers. Mostly it causes them to not put
|
||
|
|
any borders on the modal windows and prevent you from moving them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For FVWM I recommend you put "DecorateTransients" into your .fvwmrc.

Mesa:
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Currently the best way to get OpenGL on your Linux system is to use
|
||
|
|
Mesa. Fltk has been tested with Mesa on several machines (and also
|
||
|
|
with "real" OpenGL on SGI machines).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mesa is at: http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~brianp/Mesa.html
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
./configure will not see Mesa unless it is installed as either libGL
|
||
|
|
or libMesa. If you don't want to do this you will have to edit
|
||
|
|
config.h (set HAVE_GL to 1) and makeinclude (add the libraries).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
How to write programs that use Fltk:
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The proper way to include Fltk header files is "#include <FL/Fl_xyz.H>".
|
||
|
|
If Fltk is installed this will work without switches. If not you will
|
||
|
|
need to provide a -I switch pointing to this directory (all the
|
||
|
|
headers are in ./FL).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Linker switches will be something like "-lfltk -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11".
|
||
|
|
Some programs may require -lXext or -lm. If Fltk is not installed you
|
||
|
|
will need to add a -L switch pointing at ./lib.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you wish to distribute a program (in source form) that uses Fltk,
|
||
|
|
you are allowed by the license to directly include the portions of
|
||
|
|
Fltk that you need. This may make it easier for a user to compile
|
||
|
|
your program since they don't need to install the library. Please
|
||
|
|
provide instructions for the user on how they can get the entire
|
||
|
|
source of Fltk.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you wish to distribute a compiled program without source code: this
|
||
|
|
is allowed. See the license.
