1. Introduction to CMake
===========================
CMake was designed to let you create build files for a project once and
then compile the project on multiple platforms.
Using it on any platform consists of the same steps. Create the
CMakeLists.txt build file(s). Run one of the CMake executables, picking
your source directory, build directory, and build target. The "cmake"
executable is a one-step process with everything specified on the command
line. The others let you select options interactively, then configure
and generate your platform-specific target. You then run the resulting
Makefile / project file / solution file as you normally would.
CMake can be run in up to three ways, depending on your platform. "cmake"
is the basic command line tool. "ccmake" is the curses based interactive
tool. "cmake-gui" is the gui-based interactive tool. Each of these will
take command line options in the form of -DOPTION=VALUE. ccmake and
cmake-gui will also let you change options interactively.
CMake not only supports, but works best with out-of-tree builds. This means
that your build directory is not the same as your source directory or with a
complex project, not the same as your source root directory. Note that the
build directory is where, in this case, FLTK will be built, not its final
installation point. If you want to build for multiple targets, such as
VC++ and MinGW on Windows, or do some cross-compiling you must use out-of-tree
builds exclusively. In-tree builds will gum up the works by putting a
CMakeCache.txt file in the source root.
More information on CMake can be found on its web site http://www.cmake.org.
2. Using CMake to Build FLTK
===============================
2.1 Prerequisites
--------------------
The prerequisites for building FLTK with CMake are staightforward:
CMake 3.2.3 or later and a recent FLTK 1.3 release, snapshot, or Git
download (working copy). Installation of CMake is covered on its web site.
This howto will cover building FLTK with the default options using CMake
under Linux and MinGW with Unix Makefiles. Chapter 2.5 shows how to use
a MinGW cross compiling toolchain to build a FLTK library for Windows
under Linux. Other platforms are just as easy to use.
2.2 Options
--------------
Options can be specified to cmake with the -D flag:
cmake -D <OPTION_NAME>=<OPTION_VALUE>
Example:
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
All options have sensible defaults so you won't usually need to touch these.
There are only two CMake options that you may want to specify:
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
This specifies what kind of build this is i.e. Release, Debug...
Platform specific compile/link flags/options are automatically selected
by CMake depending on this value.
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
Where everything will go on install. Defaults are /usr/local for Unix
and C:\Program Files\FLTK for Windows.
CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES (macOS only, ignored on other platforms)
Set this to either "arm64", "x86_64", or a list of both "arm64;x86_64".
The latter will build "universal apps" on macOS, whereas the former
will either build Intel (x86_64) or Apple Silicon aka M1 (arm64) apps.
The default is to build for the host processor architecture.
The following are the FLTK specific options. Platform specific options
are ignored on other platforms.
OPTION_OPTIM - default EMPTY
Extra optimization flags for the C and C++ compilers, for instance
"-Wall -Wno-deprecated-declarations".
OPTION_ARCHFLAGS - default EMPTY
Extra architecture flags.
OPTION_APPLE_X11 - default OFF
In case you want to use X11 on macOS.
Use this only if you know what you do, and if you have installed X11.
OPTION_USE_POLL - default OFF
Don't use this one, it is deprecated.
OPTION_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS - default OFF
Normally FLTK is built as static libraries which makes more portable
binaries. If you want to use shared libraries, this will build them too.
FLTK_BUILD_FLUID - default ON
Builds the Fast Light User-Interface Designer ("FLUID").
FLTK_BUILD_FLTK_OPTIONS - default ON
Builds the FLTK options editor ("fltk-options").
FLTK_BUILD_TEST - default ON
Builds the test and demo programs in the 'test' directory.
FLTK_BUILD_EXAMPLES - default OFF
Builds the example programs in the 'examples' directory.
FLTK_MSVC_RUNTIME_DLL - default ON (only for Visual Studio and NMake).
Selects whether the build uses the MS runtime DLL or not.
Default is ON: either /MD or /MDd for Release or Debug, respectively.
Select OFF for either /MT or /MTd for Release or Debug, respectively.
OPTION_CAIRO - default OFF
Enables support of class Fl_Cairo_Window (all platforms, requires the
Cairo library) - see README.Cairo.txt.
OPTION_CAIROEXT - default OFF
Enables extended libcairo support - see README.Cairo.txt.
OPTION_USE_GL - default ON
Enables OpenGL support.
OPTION_USE_THREADS - default ON
Enables multithreaded support.
OPTION_LARGE_FILE - default ON
Enables large file (>2G) support.
OPTION_USE_SYSTEM_LIBJPEG - default ON (macOS: OFF)
OPTION_USE_SYSTEM_LIBPNG - default ON (macOS: OFF)
OPTION_USE_SYSTEM_ZLIB - default ON
FLTK has built in jpeg, zlib, and png libraries. These options let you
use system libraries instead, unless CMake can't find them. If you set
any of these options to OFF, then the built in library will be used.
OPTION_USE_SVG - default ON
FLTK has a built-in SVG library and can create (write) SVG image files.
Turning this option off disables SVG (read and write) support.
OPTION_USE_XINERAMA - default ON
OPTION_USE_XFT - default ON
OPTION_USE_XCURSOR - default ON
OPTION_USE_XRENDER - default ON
These are X11 extended libraries. These libs are used if found on the
build system unless the respective option is turned off.
OPTION_USE_CAIRO - default OFF
Makes all drawing operations use the Cairo library (rather than Xlib)
producing antialiased graphics (X11 platform, implies OPTION_USE_PANGO).
OPTION_USE_PANGO - default OFF (see note below)
Enables use of the Pango library for drawing text. Pango supports all
unicode-defined scripts and gives FLTK limited support of right-to-left
scripts. This option makes sense only under X11 or Wayland, and also
requires Xft.
Note: Turned ON if Wayland or OPTION_USE_CAIRO is enabled.
OPTION_USE_KDIALOG - default ON
Under the KDE desktop, allows class Fl_Native_File_Chooser to use the
kdialog utility program to construct its file dialog windows, when that
utility is available at run time on the system. This option makes sense
only under X11 or Wayland.
OPTION_USE_WAYLAND - default ON
Enables the use of Wayland for all window operations, of Cairo for all
graphics and of Pango for text drawing (Linux+FreeBSD only). Resulting FLTK
apps use Wayland when a Wayland compositor is available at run-time,
and use X11 for their window operations otherwise, but keep using
Cairo and Pango - see README.Wayland.txt.
OPTION_WAYLAND_ONLY - default OFF
In conjunction with OPTION_USE_WAYLAND, restricts FLTK to support the
Wayland backend only.
OPTION_ALLOW_GTK_PLUGIN - default ON
Allow to use libdecor's GTK plugin to draw window titlebars (Wayland only).
Otherwise, FLTK will not use GTK and apps will not need linking to GTK.
OPTION_ABI_VERSION - default EMPTY
Use a numeric value corresponding to the FLTK ABI version you want to
build in the form 1xxyy for FLTK 1.x.y (xx and yy with leading zeroes).
The default ABI version is 1xx00 (the stable ABI throughout all patch
releases of one minor FLTK version). The highest ABI version you may
choose is 1xxyy for FLTK 1.x.y (again with leading zeroes).
Please see README.abi-version.txt for more information about which
ABI version to select.
OPTION_PRINT_SUPPORT - default ON
When turned off, the Fl_Printer class does nothing and the
Fl_PostScript_File_Device class cannot be used, but the FLTK library
is somewhat smaller. This option makes sense only on the Unix/Linux
platform or when OPTION_APPLE_X11 is ON.
OPTION_USE_GDIPLUS - default ON
Makes FLTK use GDI+ to draw oblique lines and curves resulting in
antialiased graphics (Windows platform only).
OPTION_USE_STD - default OFF
This option allows FLTK to use some specific features of modern C++
like std::string in the public API of FLTK 1.4.x. Users turning this
option ON can benefit from some new functions and methods that return
std::string or use std::string as input parameters.
Note: this option will probably be removed in the next minor (1.5.0)
or major (maybe 4.0.0) release which will default to use std::string
and more modern C++ features.
OPTION_USE_SYSTEM_LIBDECOR - default ON
This option makes FLTK use package libdecor-0-dev to draw window titlebars
under Wayland. When OFF or when this package has a version < 0.2.0, FLTK
uses its bundled copy of libdecor to draw window titlebars.
As of november 2023, version 0.2.0 of package libdecor-0-dev is available
only in testing distributions.
Documentation options: these options are only available if `doxygen' is
installed and found by CMake. PDF related options require also `latex'.
OPTION_BUILD_HTML_DOCUMENTATION - default ON
OPTION_BUILD_PDF_DOCUMENTATION - default ON
These options can be used to switch HTML documentation generation with
doxygen on. If these are ON the build targets 'html', 'pdf', and 'docs'
are generated but must be built explicitly. Technically the build targets
are generated but excluded from 'ALL'. You can safely leave these two
options ON if you want to save build time because the docs are not
built automatically.
OPTION_INCLUDE_DRIVER_DOCUMENTATION - default OFF
This option adds driver documentation to HTML and PDF docs (if ON). This
option is marked as "advanced" since it is only useful for FLTK developers
and advanced users. It is only used if at least one of the documentation
options above is ON as well.
OPTION_INSTALL_HTML_DOCUMENTATION - default OFF
OPTION_INSTALL_PDF_DOCUMENTATION - default OFF
If these options are ON then the HTML and/or PDF docs are installed
when the 'install' target is executed, e.g. with `make install'. You
need to select above options OPTION_BUILD_*_DOCUMENTATION as well.
2.3 Building under Linux with Unix Makefiles
-----------------------------------------------
After unpacking the FLTK source, go to the root of the FLTK tree and type
the following.
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install (optional)
IMPORTANT: The trailing ".." on the cmake command must be specified
(it is NOT an ellipsis). ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This will build and install a default configuration FLTK.
Some flags can be changed during the 'make' command, such as:
make VERBOSE=on
..which builds in verbose mode, so you can see all the compile/link commands.
Hint: if you intend to build several different versions of FLTK, e.g. a Debug
and a Release version, or multiple libraries with different ABI versions or
options, then use subdirectories in the build directory, like this:
mkdir build
cd build
mkdir Debug
cd Debug
cmake -D 'CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug' ../..
make
sudo make install (optional)
2.4 Building under Windows with Visual Studio
------------------------------------------------
Building with CMake under Visual Studio requires the CMake generator with
the -G command line switch, or the generator can be selected interactively
in the GUI (cmake-gui).
2.4.1 Visual Studio 7 / .NET
------------------------------
1) Open a "Visual Studio .NET command prompt" window, e.g.
Start > All Programs > Microsoft Visual Studio .NET >
Visual Studio .NET Tools > Command Prompt
2) In the DOS window created above, change the current directory
to where you've extracted an fltk distribution tar file (or
snapshot tar file), and run the following commands:
cd C:\fltk-1.4.x <-- change to your FLTK directory
mkdir build <-- create an empty directory
cd build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 7" -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
IMPORTANT: The trailing ".." on the cmake command must be specified
(it is NOT an ellipsis). ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This will create the file FLTK.sln in the current 'build' directory.
3) Open Visual Studio 7, and choose File -> Open -> Project,
and pick the "FLTK.sln" created by step #2 in the 'build' directory.
(Or, if only one version of the Visual Studio compiler is installed,
you can just run from DOS: .\FLTK.sln)
4) Make sure the pulldown menu has either "Release" or "Debug" selected
in the "Solution Configurations" pulldown menu.
5) In the "Solution Explorer", right click on:
Solution 'FLTK' (## projects)
..and in the popup menu, choose "Build Solution"
5) That's it, that should build FLTK.
The test programs (*.exe) can be found in e.g.
Release: C:\fltk-1.4.x\build\bin\examples\release\*.exe
Debug: C:\fltk-1.4.x\build\bin\examples\debug\*.exe
..and the FLTK include files (*.H & *.h) your own apps can
compile with can be found in:
Release & Debug: C:\fltk-1.4.x\build\FL
*and* [1] in: C:\fltk-1.4.x\FL
..and the FLTK library files (*.lib) which your own apps can
link with can be found in:
Release: C:\fltk-1.4.x\build\lib\release\*.lib
Debug: C:\fltk-1.4.x\build\lib\debug\*.lib
[1] If you want to build your own FLTK application directly using
the build directories (i.e. without "installation") you need
to include both the build tree (first) and then the FLTK source
tree in the compiler's header search list.
2.4.2 Visual Studio 2019 / NMake
--------------------------------------
This uses cmake to generate + build FLTK in Release mode using nmake,
using purely the command line (never need to open the Visual Studio IDE)
using Multithreaded (/MT):
mkdir build-nmake
cd build-nmake
cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D FLTK_MSVC_RUNTIME_DLL=off ..
nmake
..which results in a colorful percentage output crawl similar to what
we see with unix 'make'.

2.5 Building under Windows with MinGW using Makefiles
--------------------------------------------------------
Building with CMake under MinGW requires you to specify the CMake Generator
with the -G command line switch. Using
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" /path/to/fltk
is recommended by the FLTK team if you have installed MinGW with the MSYS
environment. You can use the stock Windows CMake executables, but you must
run the CMake executables from within the MinGW environment so CMake can
use your MinGW PATH to find the compilers and build tools. Example:
alias cmake='/c/CMake/bin/cmake'
alias cmake-gui='/c/CMake/bin/cmake-gui'
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -D 'CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug' ..
Note the path to FLTK ".." in the last command line. Depending on where you
installed CMake you may need to adjust the path's in the alias commands.
2.6 Building under MacOS with Xcode
------------------------------------
Building with CMake under Xcode requires the CMake generator
with the -G command line switch. This step need to be done only once. If any
of the cmake related files are updated, Xcode will rerun cmake for you.
1) Open the MacOS Terminal
2) Change to the directory containing the FLTK project. For example:
> cd ~/dev/fltk-1.4.x
3) Create a build directory
> mkdir build
> cd build
4) If you plan different build versions, it is useful to create another
subdirectory level
> mkdir Xcode
> cd Xcode
5) Let CMake create the required IDE files
> cmake -G Xcode ../..
This step should end in the message:
-- Build files have been written to: .../dev/fltk-1.4.x/build/Xcode
5a) To build the Release version of FLTK, use
> cmake -G Xcode -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../..
5b) To create all included libraries instead of using those that come
with MacOS, use:
> cmake -G Xcode -D OPTION_USE_SYSTEM_LIBJPEG=Off \
-D OPTION_USE_SYSTEM_ZLIB=Off \
-D OPTION_USE_SYSTEM_LIBPNG=Off \
../..
6) Launch Xcode from the Finder or from the Terminal:
> open ./FLTK.xcodeproj
When Xcode starts, it asks if it should "Autocreate Schemes". Click on
"Automatically Create Schemes" to confirm.
7) To build and test FLTK, select the scheme "ALL_BUILD" and hit Cmd-B to
build. Then select the scheme "demo" and hit Cmd-R to run the FLTK Demo.
8) The interactive user interface tool "Fluid" will be located in
build/Xcode/bin/Debug. The example apps are in .../bin/examples/Debug.
Static libraries are in .../lib/Debug/
9) The "install" Scheme currently fails because it is run with user permission.
2.7 Crosscompiling
---------------------
Once you have a crosscompiler going, to use CMake to build FLTK you need
two more things. You need a toolchain file which tells CMake where your
build tools are. The CMake website is a good source of information on
this file. Here's one for MinGW (64-bit) under Linux.
----
# CMake Toolchain File for MinGW-w64 (64-bit) Cross Compilation
# the name of the target operating system
set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Windows)
# which tools to use
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER /usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc)
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER /usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++)
set(CMAKE_RC_COMPILER /usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-windres)
# here is where the target environment located
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32)
# adjust the default behavior of the FIND_XXX() commands:
# search programs in the host environment
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM NEVER)
# search headers and libraries in the target environment
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY ONLY)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE ONLY)
set(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX ${CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH}/usr CACHE FILEPATH
"install path prefix")
# initialize required linker flags
set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_INIT "-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++")
# end of toolchain file
----
Not too tough. The other thing you need is a native installation of FLTK
on your build platform. This is to supply the fluid executable which will
compile the *.fl into C++ source and header files.
So, again from the FLTK tree root.
mkdir mingw
cd mingw
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=~/projects/toolchain/Toolchain-mingw32.cmake ..
make
sudo make install
IMPORTANT: The trailing ".." on the cmake command must be specified
(it is NOT an ellipsis). ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This will create a default configuration FLTK suitable for mingw/msys and
install it in the /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/usr tree.
Note: replace 'x86_64-w64-mingw32' with your cross toolchain location as
required.
3. Using CMake with FLTK
===========================
The CMake Export/Import facility can be thought of as an automated
fltk-config. For example, if you link your program to the FLTK
library, it will automatically link in all of its dependencies. This
includes any special flags, i.e. on Linux it includes the -lpthread flag.
This howto assumes that you have FLTK libraries which were built using CMake,
installed. Building them with CMake generates some CMake helper files which
are installed in standard locations, making FLTK easy to find and use.
In the following examples we set the CMake cache variable 'FLTK_DIR' so
CMake knows where to find the FLTK configuration file 'FLTKConfig.cmake'.
It is important (recommended practice) to set this as a CMake cache variable
which enables the user executing 'cmake' to override this path either on the
commandline or interactively using the CMake GUI 'cmake-gui' or 'ccmake' on
Unix/Linux, for instance like this:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -S.. -D "FLTK_DIR=/home/me/fltk"
3.1 Library Names
--------------------
When you use the target_link_libraries() command, CMake uses its own internal
"target names" for libraries. The fltk library names are:
fltk fltk_forms fltk_images fltk_gl
and for the shared libraries (if built):
fltk_SHARED fltk_forms_SHARED fltk_images_SHARED fltk_gl_SHARED
The built-in libraries (if built):
fltk_jpeg fltk_png fltk_z
3.2 Building a Simple "Hello World" Program with FLTK
--------------------------------------------------------
Here is a basic CMakeLists.txt file using FLTK.
---
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.15)
project(hello)
set(FLTK_DIR "/path/to/fltk"
CACHE FILEPATH "FLTK installation or build directory")
find_package(FLTK REQUIRED CONFIG)
add_executable(hello WIN32 MACOSX_BUNDLE hello.cxx)
if (APPLE)
target_link_libraries (hello PRIVATE "-framework cocoa")
endif (APPLE)
target_include_directories (hello PRIVATE ${FLTK_INCLUDE_DIRS})
target_link_libraries (hello PRIVATE fltk)
---
The set(FLTK_DIR ...) command is a superhint to the find_package command.
This is very useful if you don't install or have a non-standard install.
The find_package command tells CMake to find the package FLTK, REQUIRED
means that it is an error if it's not found. CONFIG tells it to search
only for the FLTKConfig file, not using the FindFLTK.cmake supplied with
CMake, which doesn't work with this version of FLTK.
The "WIN32 MACOSX_BUNDLE" in the add_executable tells this is a GUI app.
It is ignored on other platforms and should always be present with FLTK
GUI programs for better portability - unless you explicitly need to build
a "console program", e.g. on Windows.
Once the package is found the CMake variable FLTK_INCLUDE_DIRS is defined
which can be used to add the FLTK include directories to the definitions
used to compile your program using the `target_include_directories()` command.
The target_link_libraries() command is used to specify all necessary FLTK
libraries. Thus, you may have to add fltk_images, fltk_gl, etc…
Note: the variable FLTK_USE_FILE used to include another file in
previous FLTK versions was deprecated since FLTK 1.3.4 and has been
removed in FLTK 1.4.0.
3.3 Building a Program Using Fluid Files
-------------------------------------------
CMake has a command named fltk_wrap_ui which helps deal with fluid *.fl
files. Unfortunately it is broken in CMake 3.4.x but it seems to work in
3.5 and later CMake versions. We recommend to use add_custom_command()
to achieve the same result in a more explicit and well-defined way.
This is a more basic approach and should work for all CMake versions.
Here is a sample CMakeLists.txt which compiles the CubeView example from
a directory you've copied the test/Cube* files to.
---
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.15)
project(CubeView)
# change this to your fltk build directory
set(FLTK_DIR "/path/to/fltk"
CACHE FILEPATH "FLTK installation or build directory")
find_package(FLTK REQUIRED CONFIG)
# run fluid -c to generate CubeViewUI.cxx and CubeViewUI.h files
add_custom_command(
OUTPUT "CubeViewUI.cxx" "CubeViewUI.h"
COMMAND fluid -c ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/CubeViewUI.fl
)
add_executable(CubeView WIN32 MACOSX_BUNDLE
CubeMain.cxx CubeView.cxx CubeViewUI.cxx)
target_include_directories (CubeView PRIVATE ${FLTK_INCLUDE_DIRS})
target_include_directories (CubeView PRIVATE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR})
target_include_directories (CubeView PRIVATE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR})
target_link_libraries (CubeView PRIVATE fltk fltk_gl)
---
You can repeat the add_custom_command for each fluid file or if you
have a large number of them see the CMake/FLTK-Functions.cmake function
FLTK_RUN_FLUID for an example of how to run it in a loop.
The two lines
target_include_directories (CubeView PRIVATE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR})
target_include_directories (CubeView PRIVATE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR})
add the current build ("binary") and source directories as include directories.
This is necessary for the compiler to find the local header files since the
fluid-generated files (CubeViewUI.cxx and CubeViewUI.h) are created in the
current build directory.
3.4 Building a Program Using CMake's FetchContent Module
-----------------------------------------------------------
FLTK can be downloaded and built within a user project using CMake's
FetchContent module. A sample CMakeLists.txt file follows.
You may need to adjust it to your configuration.
---
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.15)
project(hello)
include(FetchContent)
set(FLTK_BUILD_TEST OFF CACHE BOOL "" FORCE)
FetchContent_Declare(FLTK
GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/fltk/fltk
GIT_SHALLOW TRUE
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(FLTK)
add_executable(hello WIN32 MACOSX_BUNDLE hello.cxx)
target_include_directories(hello PRIVATE ${fltk_BINARY_DIR} ${fltk_SOURCE_DIR})
# link as required: fltk fltk_gl fltk_images fltk_png fltk_jpeg fltk_z
target_link_libraries(hello PRIVATE fltk)
if(APPLE)
target_link_libraries(hello PRIVATE "-framework Cocoa") # needed for Darwin
endif()
if(WIN32)
target_link_libraries(hello PRIVATE gdiplus)
endif()
