Now that the FLTK-1.3.x documentation is being restructured to use doxygen, would it be worth while to introduce two, or possibly three new chapters or appendices:
a. Frequently Asked Questions: Although the web site has an Articles & FAQs page, the interface is a little awkward and it is clear that people don't always search there before they ask questions on the forums/lists. [But, by the same token, many don't read the rest of the documentation either:-(] To avoid the need for continuous update, this section could simply show the questions with links to the existing Articles & FAQs pages. b1.Build environments: One paragraph per build environment or IDE outlining what settings are required for that environment, where libraries should be located, how to handle dynamic/static linking, etc. b2.Cross compiling: [could be a part of build environments] As a minimum, Ian MacArthur's basic guidelines on how to modify the makefiles, comment out fluid, etc to build for another platform. Or are these all subjects that are simply too dynamic for the main documentation and should therefore only be offered via the web pages and forums where people can add comments or discuss them in depth? Are there other subjects that deserve to be covered in more detail in the main documentation? (e.g. Resizing; Raw image data handling) D. _______________________________________________ fltk-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
