+Further notes about Microsoft IDE project files (December 2010):

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Starting with Visual C++ 2008 Express, Microsoft offer a free IDE and

-compiler that can be used to build FLTK. The newest version is

-Visual C++ 2010 Express.  Both versions can be used, but see below for

-instructions.

-

-The preferred and best maintained project files are those in the

-directory ide/VisualC6.  Although the FLTK team currently doesn't

-have these old MS IDE versions available, this project (generated by

-FLTK's fluid software) ought to be up-to-date.  This is not always

-true, however, if there are changes that affect the project, but we

-try to keep it always up-to-date.

-

-The ide/VisualC6 project files can be used with Visual C++ 2008 Express

-by opening the fltk.dsw file and confirming to convert the project to

-the new format.

-

-Unfortunately the ide/VisualC6 project files can't be converted with

-Visual C++ 2010 Express (at least not as easily - maybe there's a tool).

-We will update this if we find a way...

-

-The ide/vc2005 project files can be used with Visual C++ 2010 Express

-by opening the fltk.sln file and confirming to convert the project to

-the new format.  This project is currently maintained manually and may

-be less up-to-date and fail to build.

-It is known to work with subversion release 7667 (July 04, 2010).

-

-Please note that FLTK 1.3 is work in progress.  The subversion and

-snapshot files are not always guaranteed to work flawlessly.

-

-You may also have success by generating your own project files with

-CMake (see files README.CMake* in the top level directory), but

-that's currently not actively maintained.

+

+The FLTK team limits support to the last two releases of any major IDE.

+For Visual Studio, this is currently VisualC 2008 and VisualC 2010. 

+Earlier versions of Visual Studio can import the VisualC6 Project file

+to generate a working Solution.

+

+VisualC2008 and VisualC2010 Solutions were generated with the free 

+Visual Studion Express edition of the corresponding version.

+

+

+Further notes about Xcode IDE project files (December 2010):

+------------------------------------------------------------------------

+

+The FLTK team limits support to the last two releases of any major IDE.

+Currently only Xcode 3 is available to regular developers. Xcode 3 

+projects should import into Xcode 4.

+

+

+Other IDE's and Platforms

+------------------------------------------------------------------------

+

+Code::Blocks supports FLTK project natively. Please compile and install 

+FLTK using the Makefile system. Once installed, new FLTK projects 

+can be generated using the Code::Blolcs IDE.

+

+Further IDE's can only be supported if a volunteer maintainer is found.

+If you feel that your favourite IDE is missing from our list, we will

+happily add your IDE files and ask you to keep them up to date.
