I'd like to add something like this to the README files for FLTK. However, I'm not using eclipse myself, so I'd depend on your knowledge to do it right. Would you mind if we'd take your text for a README file? Could you maybe help to make it even more clear? However, before we do, there are some parts that look not completely correct to me. Maybe it was written down quickly, and so there are a few glitches: I don't think that we should recommend adding pthread to Windows builds. The demo programs use native threads, and that's what we'd recommend to Windows users. See also a recent thread, replied to by Ian, if I remember and understand this correctly. wsock32 is deprecated, it should be ws2_32 (at least starting with FLTK 1.3), but fltk 1.3 itself doesn't need it added explicitly, since it will be loaded dynamically. But in the context it appears above, it's used somehow as an option, "depending from (better: on) your project", so it appears sensible to add it as an option? Also, for all builds, we should probably separate fltk's own dependencies (e.g. Xext, dl, X11 and some more) and optional dependencies (e.g. pthread, Xinerama, maybe also Xft, although this is the default, and so on...). Thoughts and comments, anybody? Where should we add it? A file of its own (since it is for more than on OS, like README.CMake.txt, maybe README.Eclipse.txt)? Is it considered a FAQ, should we add it to the docs in the new FAQ section?
