As a rider to what Matthias said, if you just want to get a working fltk installed, you can use the packages bundled by your linux distro. If you are on ubuntu, then they do bundle a version of fltk, so it is available through their package manager. So, you probably need to run the "synaptic" tool - it should be in one of the desktop menus, probably under "Administration" or something like that. Then you want to search for fltk (synaptic has a search GUI to help with that) and you want to install both the fltk libs and the fltk-dev packages. When you do that, synaptic will check to see if there are any other packages that fltk needs that are not installed on your system and will tell you about them, offering you the chance to install them too. Then you "apply" the selections, and synaptic will download and install all the bits for you. Thereafter, building MailReactor ought to Just Work. For what it is worth, whilst you are in synaptic, it might be worth searching for MailReactor too - it is possible that there is a version packaged for ubuntu already... However, it is Very Old, so I don't know. There must be more recent tools that do the equivalent job, I'd have thought? _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
