Hmm, odd, as you are getting warnings about permissions. As Greg says, it may be some ACL issue or something. Did you say what version of Windows this was? I forget. Mind you, over the last year I have seen some really odd access issues on both XP and Vista, so maybe the version is irrelevant. In any case, might be worth fixing the access rights on the whole build tree to make sure they are read/write for all users, just in case. Not ideal from a security point of view, but on a local developer machine, well... (FWIW, MS really messed up their permissions stuff - trying to add it as an afterthought really has not worked well.

That sounds wrong - the default should be "Debug".

Should be having no problems with it this time either - others (well Greg, anyway) are using the VS tools and all seems well. I'm more of a mingw fan myself, and Albrecht likes cygwin... _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
