Yes, it should build. I don't have the VC tools - I gave up on them - but that said they do work fine. As I understand it (as a non-VC user!) the problem is something to do with the way the IDE handles the different targets it has - maybe it is alphabetic order or something... Anyway, it seems that the default order puts the builds using cairo first (maybe "c" comes before "f"...) and you need to go into the list and pick the non-cairo target explicitly. Then it works. Or you can install cairo, of course, though that can be quite a bit of work! Actually, the cairo-fltk target in 1.3 doesn't do all that much, so unless you know that you need it, the non-cairo targets are the better choice. Note that, in the same vein, I think the VC tools maybe favour debug over release builds - so that might be something else to watch out for! _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
