Well, I'm not sure the answer to that one but... I would *strongly* advise against installing the patched version in the default location. Rather, use the --prefix option to configure to put the built libs and their headers in some private location. Or just keep them in the build locations. The reason for this is that the modified header files have the same names as the "real" fltk-1.1.x headers, and describe objects with the same names, and "similar" properties. But different sizes and API. If you also have a "regular" 1.1.x installed, you can get into a situation where your code compiles against the patched headers, links (apparently successfully) to the un-patched libs, then crashes oddly at runtime. Trust me, I know this to be true! Actually, we could be heading for similar pain with 1.3, if we are not careful... What I do is keep my "utf8" patched versions only in their build directories, and link against them there (fltk-config and fltk-utf8- config are smart enough to make that painless to do.) Ditto my 1.3 versions actually... Nowadays, only my stable 1.1.9 is actually installed in the system default locations. -- Ian _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
