C++: Help installing FLTK

Question

I can't seem to figure out how to install FLTK on windows. I tried looking at some things I found online but nothing has worked so far. Would somebody be able to give me a step by step guide on how to do it?

Answer 1

0) What did you try?

1) Do you have the Cygwin toolset?

If not, download it.

Extract the files from fltk's tar.gz file using the TAR command. Open a command window in the folder for the extracted files. Run:

>> bash configure

(I think). When that's done (checking for g++, gcc, and other stuff), run:

>> make && make install

I think my install took about 20 minutes...

Answer 2

Here is an excellent video tutorial by Greg Ercolano. It explains how to develop a simple FLTK-based application in Microsoft(R) VisualStudio(TM) 7.

Answer 3

If you have been installed the Code::Blocks (with MingW) and CMake, is quite easy compile and install FLTK under Windows.
