Re: [fltk.development] Using gmake to build FLTK 1.3.x with VS .NET

2008-09-03 Thread Greg Ercolano
I've got the whole kaboodle compiling now under VS NET with gmake; the libs, fluid, test programs. Also have a small 'fltk configration' screen (via 'gmake configure') which prompts for debug/release and verbose/silent build options interactively, or can be overridden by supplying NAME=value on

It would be interesting to determine whether we can make the exising makefiles work with VC++ with a new makeinclude and config.h header. Oh, now that sounds interesting - and it could maybe work... I suppose we still need to provide a configure mechanism somehow though, since it is unlikely

It would be interesting to determine whether we can make the exising makefiles work with VC++ with a new makeinclude and config.h header. This is the approach we follow with Gmsh: we use the exact same makefiles on all platforms, including VC++. It's very simple, easy to maintain and it

it could make sense to me to try this method and see if the makefiles we currently have could be 'pregenerated' without configure (batch file?) so that win32 users don't have until they install cygwin. Read so that win32 users don't have to run configure they would only have if they install

Here's the latest which builds the whole of FLTK using VS .NET. http://seriss.com/people/erco/fltk/tmp/vsnet-makefiles-0.30.tar.gz Just extract it into a copy of fltk-1.3.x, open a VS .NET console, cd into the dir, and run 'gmake'. It should ask you for DEBUG/RELEASE and

Starting a new thread here for building fltk with gmake. I find it just too satisfying to build FLTK on Windows using Microsoft's own compiler *without* the IDE. New tar file that can be extracted tot he fltk 1.3.x directory as: http://seriss.com/people/erco/fltk/tmp/vsnet-makefiles-0.20.tar.gz
