README - Fast Light Tool Kit (FLTK) Version 1.1.0
|
|
-------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
WHAT IS FLTK?
|
|
|
|
The Fast Light Tool Kit ("FLTK", pronounced "fulltick") is a
|
|
LGPL'd C++ graphical user interface toolkit for X (UNIX(r)),
|
|
OpenGL(r), MacOS(r) X, and Microsoft(r) Windows(r). It was
|
|
originally developed by Mr. Bill Spitzak and is currently
|
|
maintained by a small group of developers across the world
|
|
with a central repository in the US.
|
|
|
|
|
|
LICENSING
|
|
|
|
FLTK comes with complete free source code. FLTK is available
|
|
under the terms of the GNU Library General Public License.
|
|
Contrary to popular belief, it can be used in commercial
|
|
software! (Even Bill Gates could use it.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
ON-LINE DOCUMENTATION
|
|
|
|
All of the documentation is in HTML in the subdirectory
|
|
"documentation". The "index.html" file should be your
|
|
starting point. PostScript(tm) and PDF versions of this
|
|
documentation is also available from the FLTK web site at:
|
|
|
|
http://www.fltk.org/documentation.php
|
|
|
|
|
|
BUILDING AND INSTALLING FLTK UNDER UNIX AND MacOS X
|
|
|
|
In most cases you can just type "make". This will run
|
|
configure with the default (no) options and then compile
|
|
everything.
|
|
|
|
FLTK uses GNU autoconf to configure itself for your UNIX
|
|
platform. The main things that the configure script will
|
|
look for are the X11, OpenGL (or Mesa), and JPEG header and
|
|
library files. Make sure that they are in the standard
|
|
include/library locations. If they aren't you need to
|
|
define the CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, and LDFLAGS environment
|
|
variables.
|
|
|
|
If you aren't using "gcc", "g++", "c++", or "CC" for your
|
|
C++ compiler, you'll also need to set the CXX environment
|
|
variable. Similarly, if you aren't using "gcc" or "cc" for
|
|
your C compiler you'll need to set the CC environment
|
|
variable.
|
|
|
|
You can run configure yourself to get the exact setup you
|
|
need. Type "./configure <options>". Options include:
|
|
|
|
--enable-cygwin - Enable the Cygwin libraries (WIN32)
|
|
--enable-debug - Enable debugging code & symbols
|
|
--disable-gl - Disable OpenGL support
|
|
--enable-shared - Enable generation of shared libraries
|
|
--enable-threads - Enable multithreading support
|
|
--enable-xdbe - Enable the X double-buffer extension
|
|
--enable-xft - Enable the Xft library (anti-aliased fonts)
|
|
|
|
--bindir=/path - Set the location for executables
|
|
[default = /usr/local/bin]
|
|
--libdir=/path - Set the location for libraries
|
|
[default = /usr/local/lib]
|
|
--includedir=/path - Set the location for include files.
|
|
[default = /usr/local/include]
|
|
--prefix=/dir - Set the directory prefix for files
|
|
[default = /usr/local]
|
|
|
|
When the configure script is done you can just run the
|
|
"make" command. This will build the library, FLUID tool, and
|
|
all of the test programs.
|
|
|
|
To install the library, become root and type "make
|
|
install". This will copy the "fluid" executable to
|
|
"bindir", the header files to "includedir", and the library
|
|
files to "libdir".
|
|
|
|
|
|
BUILDING FLTK UNDER MICROSOFT WINDOWS
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to build FLTK under Microsoft Windows.
|
|
The first is to use the VC++ 6.0 project files under the
|
|
"visualc" directory. Just open (or double-click on) the
|
|
"fltk.dsw" file to get the whole shebang.
|
|
|
|
The second method is to use a GNU-based development tool
|
|
with the files in the "makefiles" directory. To build
|
|
with the CygWin tools, use the supplied configure script
|
|
as specified in the UNIX section above:
|
|
|
|
sh configure ...options...
|
|
|
|
To build using other tools simply copy the appropriate
|
|
makeinclude and config files to the main directory and do a
|
|
make:
|
|
|
|
copy makefiles\Makefile.<env> Makefile
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
|
BUILDING FLTK UNDER OS/2
|
|
|
|
The current OS/2 build requires XFree86 for OS/2 to work. A
|
|
native Presentation Manager version has not been implemented
|
|
yet (volunteers are welcome!).
|
|
|
|
To build the XFree86 version of FLTK for OS/2, copy the
|
|
appropriate makeinclude and config files to the main
|
|
directory and do a make:
|
|
|
|
copy makefiles\Makefile.os2x Makefile
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
|

REPORTING BUGS
|
|
|
|
To report a bug in FLTK, send an email to
|
|
"fltk-bugs@fltk.org". Please include the FLTK version,
|
|
operating system & version, and compiler that you are using
|
|
when describing the bug or problem. You can also submit a
|
|
bug on the SourceForge pages.
|
|
|
|
For general support and questions, please use the FLTK
|
|
mailing list at "fltk@fltk.org".
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 available at:
|
|
|
|
http://www.mesa3d.org
|
|
|
|
The configure script will not see Mesa unless it is
|
|
installed as either libGL or libMesaGL. 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).
