Thanks Ian. I don't have access to a windows box right now, but I will later. I will follow your article: http://www.fltk.org/articles.php?L598+I0+T+M10+P1+Q Perhaps I will install Dev-cpp and see if I can build the fltk-1.1.x-r5940 on Windows. Atleast that way I can simply install SDL and SDL_mixer w32 libs that are provided on libsdl.org.
