HOW TO USE THE FLTK IDE ENVIRONMENTS
-------------------------------------------
Since FLTK 1.4.0 we do no longer include IDE solution files in our
source distribution.
If you want to build the FLTK library with an IDE you need to use
CMake 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.
Using CMake to generate IDE project files
------------------------------------------------------------------------
IDE files can easily be created using CMake and the provided
CMake files.
For more info about using CMake to build FLTK please read the file
README.CMake.txt in the root directory of the FLTK distribution.
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.
