This README file is a placeholder for FLTK library files on your system
-if FLTK is built using 'configure' and 'make'.
+if FLTK is built "in-tree", i.e. if the build folder is the same as the
+source folder.
+ *** This is strongly discouraged! ***
-Building FLTK with CMake
+Building FLTK "out-of tree"
If FLTK is built using CMake all static and shared libraries are created
in the 'lib' subdirectory of the build tree. We strongly recommend to
build with CMake outside the source tree ("out-of-tree") as described
in README.CMake.txt in the root folder of the FLTK distribution.
-
-If FLTK is built out-of-tree as recommended this folder will not be touched.

-
-Building FLTK with configure + make
-
-Under UNIX/Linux and other systems that support 'configure' and 'make'
-(e.g. MinGW, MSYS) a single set of library files will be built, with
-or without debug information depending on the options you provided to
-the configure script.
-
-The FLTK build system based on configure does not support out-of-tree
-builds, hence the static libraries will be built in this 'lib' folder
-and the shared libraries (if enabled) can be found in the 'src' folder.
