Please download a newer snapshot. > Anyway, I noticed that one problem with FLTK was that it can only be compiled > in 32bit mode.

The current snapshot includes new IDE files in ide/Xcode3/ (the ones in ide/Xcode3.1 are now outdated and will eventually be removed). > I'm very interested in getting a 64bit/universal version of FLTK, for the > main reason that I won't have to limit my own software to 32bit.

Is that with ide/Xcode3 or with ide/Xcode3.1 ? There should be no plist files missing with the first one. > But I'm used to the terminal and the usual ./configure/make/make install > procedure.

Just do "sudo make install" and the include files and libraries should be installed correctly. The commandline however is currently limited to 32 bit. This should not be an issue if your application uses less than 4GB of RAM. > So how do I install the Xcode built files, etc. to have a working FLTK > install? Or am I misunderstanding what the Xcode project is for, and the > whole 64bit thing? The Xcode project generates frameworks as universal binaries. The command line tools generate traditional Unix libraries in 32 bit for the CPU of your machine (Intel or PPC) (also check out 'fltk-config'). 64bits are only useful if your application may need more than 4GB of RAM. Otherwise it is a waste of space and possibly even slower. - Matthias _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
