FLTK 2.0 is an experimental, non-stable, but also a working version. You should only use it, if you are willing to accept API changes and other instabilities during your use. FLTK 1.3 is the official, upcoming stable version that will preserve API compatibility at a high level. Support is (IMHO) much better than for 2.0. > What is the best choice having an application working on fltk 1.1.9 to > integrate the utf8 characters? FLTK 1.3 is almost API compatible with 1.1, and therefore it is the best way to go and test it without code modifications (almost). There's a chapter about migration in the docs, where you can see what changes you can expect. > Building the last snapshot fltk 1.3.x-r6649, my application exit with a > segmentation fault.

The most probable reason is that you may have some old (1.1) .dll (Windows) or .so (Linux) files that you are using together with your 1.3-compiled code (the shareable libraries have the same names, so this may happen unintentionally), but they are not binary compatible. > Any suggestions? Any comments or idea are welcome. Check your installation, link statically, maybe with explicit use of FLTK 1.3's fltk-config, clean your old installation, ... On which platform are you developing? Can you run the FLTK 1.3 demo programs? Albrecht _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
