Hello, i am writing an application for windows under the cygwin environment. I can successfully build and run the executable of my application. However, I noticed that the FLTK interface is strictly tied to this environment: for example, the FLTK file chooser does not show the directories in the native Windows way with "\" as separtors and ":" as root drives; on the contrary, "/" are used and all the "usual" drives appear under "/cygwin/". I found a native file chooser for windows on the net, but it was necessary to build the code in the example with the -mnocygwin option, which would break the compilation of my actual application.
So I wonder what would happen if one tries to run the exectuable without having cygwin installed. As far as I understood under windows there are two possibilities to compile a fltk application. One is cygwin and the other one is mingw (available from a devc++ environment for instance). Basically, the first one would not allow me to link the code against native Windows libraries, while other one would let me do so. Is this right? While we are at it, I started to think about a way to minimize the icon into the System Tray. It looks like I need to involve the Winapi, as the fltk library does not provide any functionalities. Do you have any other ideas? Thanks in advance for the answers. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
