HOW TO BUILD AND USE FLTK WITH AN IDE

Since FLTK 1.4 we do no longer include IDE [1] solution files in our
|
|
|
|
|
source distribution. [2]

|
|
If you want to build the FLTK library with an IDE you need to use
|
2018-12-10 18:50:56 +03:00
|
|
|
CMake [3] to generate the IDE files from the source distribution.

|
|
|
The FLTK team will officially support generation of selected IDE projects,
|
|
|
|
|
particularly Visual C++ and Xcode. Older version support of these IDE
|
|
|
|
|
projects will be limited to the versions that are supported by and can be
|
|
|
|
|
generated with CMake.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other IDE solutions generated with CMake may or may not work. The FLTK
|
|
|
|
|
team will try to support as many IDE solutions as possible, but we may
|
|
|
|
|
need help to adjust the CMake files to fit a particular IDE project.

IDE files can easily be created using CMake and the provided CMake files.

Current Status as of Nov 2016:
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Xcode: Supported Known to work.
|
|
|
|
|
Visual C++: Supported Visual C++ 2015 generator known to work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other IDE's: Not supported Status unknown.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: "Not supported" doesn't mean that a particular generator does not work,
|
|
|
|
|
but the FLTK team does not put much effort into making this IDE work,
|
|
|
|
|
hence it may work for you or not. Contributions welcome.

[1] IDE = Integrated Development Environment,
|
|
|
|
|
for instance Visual Studio, Xcode, Eclipse, ...

|
[2] The only exception is the Android Studio IDE in ide/AndroidStudio3
|
|
|
|
|
currently provided for testing. This IDE solution is likely to be
|
|
|
|
|
moved elsewhere or removed entirely before FLTK 1.4 will be released.
