HOW TO USE THE FLTK IDE ENVIRONMENTS
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
As for today, FLTK 1.3 officially supports
|
|
the following integrated environments (1):
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
distrib subdir | supported products
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
ide/Visualc6 | Microsoft Visual C++ 6, 2008 Express (2)
|
|
ide/vc2005 | Microsoft Visual C++ 2005, 2010 Express (3)
|
|
ide/Xcode3 | Apple XCode 3.x
|
|
|
|
Notes :
|
|
-------
|
|
(1) For *nix platforms based on the autoconf/configure/make toolchain,
|
|
simply run autoconf, then the configure script on the root dir.
|
|
read the ./README file for more info.
|
|
(2) When first using the project file (ide/VisualC6/fltk.dsw) with
|
|
VC++ 2003 or VC++ 2008 Express, you will be asked to convert
|
|
the project to the newer format.
|
|
(3) When first using the project file (ide/vc2005/fltk.sln) with
|
|
VC++ 2008 Express or later, you will be asked to convert
|
|
the project to the newer format.
|
|

Further notes about Microsoft IDE project files (July 2010):
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Starting with Visual C++ 2008 Express, Microsoft offer a free IDE and
|
|
compiler that can be used to build FLTK. The newest version is
|
|
Visual C++ 2010 Express. Both versions can be used, but see below for
|
|
instructions.
|
|
|
|
The preferred and best maintained project files are those in the
|
|
directory ide/VisualC6. Although the FLTK team currently doesn't
|
|
have these old MS IDE versions available, this project (generated by
|
|
FLTK's fluid software) ought to be up-to-date. This is not always
|
|
true, however, if there are changes that affect the project, but we
|
|
try to keep it always up-to-date.
|
|
|
|
The ide/VisualC6 project files can be used with Visual C++ 2008 Express
|
|
by opening the fltk.dsw file and confirming to convert the project to
|
|
the new format.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately the ide/VisualC6 project files can't be converted with
|
|
Visual C++ 2010 Express (at least not as easily - maybe there's a tool).
|
|
We will update this if we find a way...
|
|
|
|
The ide/vc2005 project files can be used with Visual C++ 2010 Express
|
|
by opening the fltk.sln file and confirming to convert the project to
|
|
the new format. This project is currently maintained manually and may
|
|
be less up-to-date and fail to build.
|
|
It is known to work with subversion release 7667 (July 04, 2010).
|
|
|
|
Please note that FLTK 1.3 is work in progress. The subversion and
|
|
snapshot files are not always guaranteed to work flawlessly.
|
|
|
|
You may also have success by generating your own project files with
|
|
CMake (see files README.CMake* in the top level directory), but
|
|
that's currently not actively maintained.
