Manolo Gouy a8530c73fa Adopted use of FL_LIBRARY #define symbol under Mac OS X. This allows to compile
client applications without including Mac OS system headers, with a gain in speed of 
compilation and portability. The source files of all FLTK libraries must now be compiled with 
-DFL_LIBRARY under Mac OS X. Make, CMake and Xcode project support files
have been modified accordingly.

VisualC6 Removed IDE support from Fluid because it never got finished and seemed more like a race against windmills. I may pick this up again later - maybe. 2010-12-20 20:33:24 +00:00

   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 and 2005 (2)
ide/VisualC2008	|   Microsoft Visual C++ 2008
ide/VisualC2010	|   Microsoft Visual C++ 2010
ide/Xcode3 	|   Apple Xcode 3.x and up

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++ 2005, you will be asked to convert the project to the newer 
    format.


Further notes about Microsoft IDE project files (December 2010):
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The FLTK team limits support to the last two releases of any major IDE.
For Visual Studio, this is currently VisualC 2008 and VisualC 2010. 
Earlier versions of Visual Studio can import the VisualC6 Project file
to generate a working Solution.

VisualC2008 and VisualC2010 Solutions were generated with the free 
Visual Studio Express edition of the corresponding version.


Further notes about Xcode IDE project files (December 2010):
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The FLTK team limits support to the last two releases of any major IDE.
Currently only Xcode 3 is available to regular developers. Xcode 3 
projects should import into Xcode 4.


Other IDE's and Platforms
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Code::Blocks supports FLTK project natively. Please compile and install 
FLTK using the Makefile system. Once installed, new FLTK projects 
can be generated using the Code::Blocks IDE.

Further IDE's can only be supported if a volunteer maintainer is found.
If you feel that your favourite IDE is missing from our list, we will
happily add your IDE files and ask you to keep them up to date.
