From 48b45fce19ed4337e96e2ddb849720f9beb8375c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Albrecht Schlosser Date: Sun, 4 Jul 2010 18:44:52 +0000 Subject: Updated Windows and IDE README files. This will hopefully help to reduce the IDE confusion. git-svn-id: file:///fltk/svn/fltk/branches/branch-1.3@7668 ea41ed52-d2ee-0310-a9c1-e6b18d33e121 --- ide/README.IDE | 60 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- 1 file changed, 49 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) (limited to 'ide') diff --git a/ide/README.IDE b/ide/README.IDE index e2e4914da..d67967d76 100755 --- a/ide/README.IDE +++ b/ide/README.IDE @@ -3,21 +3,59 @@ ------------------------------------------- As for today, FLTK 1.3 officially supports -the following integrated environments (1) : +the following integrated environments (1): -------------------------------------------- -distrib subdir | supported products -------------------------------------------- -ide/vc2005 | Microsoft Visual C++ 2005, 2008 (2) -ide/visualc | Microsoft Visual C++ 6, 2003 (3) -ide/Xcode3.1 | Apple XCode 3.1 +------------------------------------------------------------------------ +distrib subdir | supported products +------------------------------------------------------------------------ +ide/Visualc6 | Microsoft Visual C++ 6, 2008 Express (2) +ide/vc2005 | Microsoft Visual C++ 2005, 2010 Express (3) +ide/Xcode3 | Apple XCode 3.x Notes : ------- (1) For *nix platforms based on the autoconf/configure/make toolchain, simply run autoconf, then the configure script on the root dir. read the ./README file for more info. -(2) When first using the project file (ide/vc2005/fltk.sln) with vc2008, - you will be ask to convert the project for vs2008 use. -(3) When first using the project file (ide/visualc/fltk.dsw) with vc2003, - you will be ask to convert the project for vs2003 use. +(2) When first using the project file (ide/VisualC6/fltk.dsw) with + VC++ 2003 or VC++ 2008 Express, you will be asked to convert + the project to the newer format. +(3) When first using the project file (ide/vc2005/fltk.sln) with + VC++ 2008 Express or later, you will be asked to convert + the project to the newer format. + + +Further notes about Microsoft IDE project files (July 2010): +------------------------------------------------------------------------ +Starting with Visual C++ 2008 Express, Microsoft offer a free IDE and +compiler that can be used to build FLTK.

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. -- cgit v1.2.3
