Thanks very much! I've compiled it (finally) :). But when I try to link to the lib (it's name is libfltk.a) and compile the first program in the documentation (for 1.3) I get heaps of error messages, along the lines of "Undefined reference to <whatever>". I'm using windows xp and trying to compile with gcc (my ide is code::blocks). When I compilied the library, I actually used MSYS, but am about to try with Visual Studio in case there is something wrong with using MSYS.... Thanks for your help :) _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
