Do not use the mingw Makefile from the makefiles folder - I can't understand why we still ship it, it is complete rubbish. Ages ago I had a few feeble runs at fixing it, but honestly, just use configure. And note: if you are using mingw, you get excellent results also using Msys. You don't need cygwin to run configure, the mingw+Msys setup works very well, and has done for many years - see: http://www.fltk.org/articles.php?L598 > 2.

I can't comment on this, as I never use the VS tools, but others report they work. If there is a dependency on cairo, then somebody had f***ed up the IDE files, as that should only be needed as an optional item. > > But I am not unhappy.

There be dragons out there... _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
