I am posting this in the hopes that one other ignorant dilettante will be spared what I just went through.
To build with FLTK (1.3.0) and MinGW using Eclipse (indigo): First follow the steps to build fltk: open an msys mingw shell, follow the steps. I copied the resulting files from the msys local include, lib, etc. to the C:\MinGW\include, lin, etc. dirs but maybe you don't have to. Then open eclipse with cdt installed, and create a new plain-vanilla c++ project. Now go to project/properties/c++ build/settings and the tool settings tab. There are 2 things I had to change from the defaults (for MinGW GCC and CDT Internal Builder): Click MinGW C++ Linker. Change the command from g++ to gcc -mwindows. Do not use ld! The -mwindows gets rid of the pesky DOS console window. Then go to Libraries, and add under Library search path (-L) C:\MinGW\lib (obvious). Under Libraries (-l) add: (these 4 were shown by fltk-config --ldflags in msys) fltk ole32 comctl32 uuid (these 4 were not - maybe they are obvious to some, but not to me) comdlg32 gdi32 msvcrt stdc++ Then Project/Build the sucker! Best wishes to all; Peace, love, mathematics, and the careful use of certain psychedelics! _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
