I think this ought to work - I don't use the MS tools at all, I always use the Mingw/gcc tools instead on windows (HowTo here: http://www.fltk.org/articles.php?L598 ) However, Greg does use the MS tools and AFAIK they all work OK. OK - now I see that Greg has posted a reply too, so he'll probably sort you out! > Stroustrup's book is based on Visual Studio 2005. I don't have Stroustrup's book, but I have a recollection someone said it was based on fltk-2 rather than fltk-1.1? If so, that's a pity as fltk-2 is currently unmaintained... Fltk-1.1 is the stable tree, but the API is not identical, so the examples my not work quite as written (if they expect fltk-2 API).
