Help!! Building FLTK + VC++ 2003 Toolkit with CodeBlocks?

[Frederico]

Hi!
I'm new to CodeBlocks (I tried it before, but now it looks pretty stable, and I'm going to use it for real work).
I'm a FLTK user, and I have built/used it with Mingw+Msys, Cygwin and Dev-cpp.
Now, I want to use FLTK with CodeBlocks and VC++ 2003 Toolkit.
I installed and tested CodeBlocks with VC++ 2003 and looks really good.
Now, I'm trying to build FLTK, by importing FLTK VC++ workspace. But CodeBlocks gives me this error:

Execution of 'cl.exe /nologo /W3 /GX /O2 /DWIN32 /DNDEBUG /D_WINDOWS /YX /FD /MD /Ot /Op /Ob2 /DWIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN /DVC_EXTRA_LEAN /DWIN32_EXTRA_LEAN /O1  /I. /I.. /I"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\include" /I"C:\Arquivos de programas\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\include"  /c ..\src\Fl_Gl_Overlay.cxx /FoRelease\src\Fl_Gl_Overlay.obj' in 'C:\CodeBlocks\fltk\visualc' failed.
Nothing to be done.


I learned FLTK with these excellent videos: http://seriss.com/people/erco/fltk-videos/
And there's a video telling how to build FLTK with VC++ IDE.
But I want to build with Code Blocks IDE (using VC++ 2003 free compiler).
Any helps?


Thanks a lot!
I'm really interested in using and helping the Code Blocks Project!

I think CodeBlocks cannot find cl.exe. Have you set the path for the compiler manually?

You can use MinGW with CodeBlocks if you wish .

Now, I'm trying to build FLTK, by importing FLTK VC++ workspace. But CodeBlocks gives me this error:

Nothing to be done.

Did you install correctly Visual Studio Toolkit .NET 2003? Have a look at here:

http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Integrating_Microsoft_Visual_Toolkit_2003_with_Code::Blocks_IDE

You can also search in the forum for some useful posts about Visual Studio Toolkit .NET 2003.

Anyway, did you import VC6 workspace? If yes, AFAIK, this import functionality has still some problems.

If you import a VC7.1 solution, then check if the imported solution is ok (included headers, libraries, pathes etc.).

Best wishes,
Michael

[Frederico]

Well, the import of the workspace worked without problems (at least Code Blocks didn't give me an error).
But there's something it can't find that is generating this error. I'll try to check the paths again.

Thanks

At least, Code Blocks can build Win32 API or console projects without errors.
The error only happens when building FLTK from source.

There are now c::b files in the latest svn of fltk 2.0 not for vc, but you can modify them....

I almost got it...

Any ideas?

[David Perfors]

hmm. no, you can try the mailing list of fltk... I don't think that this is a C::B problem....

[dejan]

Well, for your information, there is already Code::Blocks workspace and project(s) inside FLTK_SRC_DIR/ide/cb . Just open it with SVN version of Code::Blocks and you will be able to build FLTK2.
I use Code::Blocks sometimes for development of FLTK 2.0.

Kind regards

Ah yes, i have forgotten to say - there are no VC++ projects there... I'll do it soon, when i install VC++ 2005 Express. Just wait couple of days and than look for "windows-ms" project file.

PS. you can build FLTK2 in VC++, than just put libraries + header files at proper place, and setup Code::Blocks project which would use MS C/C++ compiler/linker.
