README - Fast Light Tool Kit (FLTK) Version 1.1.6
-------------------------------------------------

WHAT IS FLTK?

    The Fast Light Tool Kit ("FLTK", pronounced "fulltick") is a
    a cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit for UNIX(r)/Linux(r) (X11),
    Microsoft(r) Windows(r), and MacOS(r) X. FLTK provides
    modern GUI functionality without the bloat and supports 3D
    graphics via OpenGL(r) and its built-in GLUT emulation. 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
