HOW TO BUILD FLTK USING VISUAL STUDIO 2010
============================================
Prerequisites
---------------
In order to build FLTK from within VisualStudio 2010, you need to install the
VisualC developer environment from the Microsoft web site. The Express edition
is free of charge and sufficient to develop FLTK applications:
http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/
Downloading and Unpacking
---------------------------
Download FLTK from here:
http://www.fltk.org/software.php
If you are familiar with "subversion" and like to stay current with you version,
you will find the subversion access parameters at the bottom of that page.
Unpack FLTK by using an appropriate unpacker and copy the new folder into a
convenient location. I have set up a "dev" folder in my home folder for all my
projects.
Configuring FLTK
------------------
Launch VisualStudio. Open the project file in
.../fltk-1.3.xxxx/ide/VisualC2010/fltk.sln
Choose "Debug" or "Release" mode from the "Solution Configurations" menu.
Building FLTK
---------------
Use the context menu of the "demo" project to "Set as StartUp Project". Then
select "Build Solution" from the "Build" menu or press F7 to build all
libraries.
Testing FLTK
--------------
Select "Start Debugging" form the "Debug" menu or just press F5 to run the Demo
program. Use "Demo" to explore all test programs.
Installing FLTK
-----------------
FIXME: this is still the VC2008 documentation!
The default location for VisualC 2008 libraries and headers is here:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC
It is possible to move the FLTK libraries, headers, and Fluid into the
respective subdirectories, so that they are available for future development
without adding link and include paths to the solution.
copy the entire FL directory into the include path
copy all .lib files from the fltk lib directory to the VC lib directory
copy fluid/fluid.exe to the bin directory
I highly discourace using dll's (dynamically linking libraries) on MSWindows
because they will require an installation process and likely cause version
conflicts. Use the static .lib libraries instead.
Creating new Projects
-----------------------
FIXME: this is still the VC2008 documentation!
This chapter assumes that libraries and headers are copied into
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC
Create a new project of type "General", "Empty Project". Open the Project
Properties dialog and add "WIN32" in the Preprocessor Definitions (Configuration
Properties > C/C++ > Preprocessor > Preprocessor Definitions).
Now add "Comctl32.lib" and all the LFKT libraries that you will need (at least
"fltk.lib") to Additional Dependencies (Configuration Properties > Linker >
Additional Dependencies).
Add a simple C++ file with a few FLTK commands and run it with F5.
You can also include .fl resources: add a new Hedare file to you project, but
let the name end in .fl. Right-click and select "Open with...". Add "fluid.exe"
from the "bin" directory and set it as the default editor.
To automatically compile .fl files, open the Properties editor and set the
Custom Build Steps to:
Command Line: fluid.exe -c $(InputPath)
Description: Compiling Fluid .fl file
Outputs: $(InputDir)$(InputName).cxx; $(InputDir)$(InputName).h
Now add the generated .cxx file to your project as well. Whenever the .fl file
is changed, the corresponding .cxx file will be recompiled.
