+\note The Forms compatibility library is deprecated, no longer actively
+ maintained since FLTK 1.3.0, and likely to be removed completely
+ in FLTK 1.5.
+
+Since FLTK 1.4 building the Forms compatibility library \c fltk_forms
+(configure/Makefiles) or \c fltk::forms (CMake) can be disabled with
+one of these commands:
+ \code
+ - ./configure --disable-forms ...
+ - cmake -D FLTK_BUILD_FORMS:BOOL=OFF ...
+ - cmake-gui ...
+ \endcode
+
+Fluid can still import Forms and XForms designer (.fd) files but w/o
+any guarantees for working results. Manual fixes may be necessary.
+
+In the next minor or major release (1.5 or higher) the Forms compatibility
+library will not be built by default or will be removed entirely.
