FWIW: I managed to compile the FLTK 3.0 VC6 IDE project as of svn r 8947 with VC++ 2008, including zlib, jpeg, and png after fixing the project names in fltk.dsw (extraneous '.' removed, or missing '\' added, what- ever you like). There are other errors in this early VC6 version though (63 succeeded, 12 failed, 0 skipped). But this shows that the IDE files were okay and usable, at least for some versions of VC++ on some Windows versions. ;-) Albrecht _______________________________________________ fltk-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
