Installing FLTK v1.1.x-r5734 ?

(1/2) > >>

Hi all,

Can someone tells me how to install the fltk v1.1.x-r5734 version under Win XP (with Codeblocks) ?
So far, I use the 1.1.7 version that I installed via a devpack file, but it seems that such file is not available for the 1.1.x-r5734 version.
So I guess I have to install it manually and build the libs (libfltk.a, libfltk_forms.a etc...).
But how to do that in Codeblocks?
Can someone provides a step by step instruction ?

Thanks for advance

I have spent a little time looking into the issue and I need to know your skill level on a few things and a few other bits of info.

1. You are only using CodeBlocks to compile the C/C++ part of FLTK right?
   ( I noticed there is a dotnet part of FLTK.)
2. Do you know how to use svn?
3. Do you know how to manually convert an Code::Blocks project from using vs2005 or vc6 to gcc
   ( This includes fixing the compiler and linker options.)
4. Do you know how to use MinGW's MSys?
5. Do you know that 1.1.x-r5734 is a snapshot that should normally NOT be used for production work?

yes

No (I don't know even what is svn  :?)

No, (I use only Codeblocks)

I know that is one way to compile and build the Fltk library but it's a little bit confused to me.
That's why I'd rather solve this pb with Codeblocks.

On the fltk forum, one of the fltk's programmers adviced me to use the 1.1.x-r5734 version rather than the 1.1.7, so I guess he knows what he's talking about.

Can you help me ?

stahta01:
Yeah, I should be able to help you.

Method 1: This method will take too long.

But, I am going to have to write a sed script to do the conversion from Visual C 6 project to Code::Blocks Project. I have no idea of how much work it will be, I should know more sometime tomorrow.

Method 2
Use SVN and MSys to create an devpak setup. I have never done this will only try it if method 1 looks like it will take a long time.

What OS are you using?
I am using Windows XP, I need to write a more complex batch file than I thought I would have to.
I am assuming windows is this correct? I need to know which version 95,98, NT 4.0, 2000, XP or 2003?
