1This is Aleksandras Gluchovas' framelayout library.

20ORGANIZATION
21-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
22
23/src contains the library source. The default makefile will create a
24(shared) library, for example wx_fl_gtk.so.0.1.
25
26/samples contains (so far) three samples, ingeniously called 'sample',
27'test' and 'demo'.
28
29Each dir also contains an Unix Makefile.in for automatic makefile generation
30for configure, but so far it's not automatic :-)
31Instead, a shell script make_Linux_make is provided for this. It should be
32trivial to adapt this for other systems that use a configure build.
33
34/samples/bitmaps contains bitmaps that are needed by the samples.
35
36YOU NEED TO RUN THE SAMPLES FROM THIS BITMAP DIR otherwise the binaries
37can't find their pics and horrible things will ensue.
38
39<03-12-99 Russell>
40/samples/demo/fl_demo no longer needs to be run from the bitmap dir under
41windows, it now uses windows resources.
42
43-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
44BUILDING
45-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
46
47for Unix-like systems:
48
49./configure should have set things up nicely in the src dir. Just type make
50; make install to build and install the library.
51
52to make the samples, run samples/make_Linux_make, then type make in each
53sample dir. Non-Linux users should tweak the make_Linux_make script first.
54
55Note that a fl has not been tested with wxMotif yet...
56
57for Windows systems:
58
59The src directory contains a few untested makefiles. Pick one, and best of
60luck!
61
62NOTE: src/Makefile.vc has been tested and works well. (Russell)
63
64<Added 3-11-99>
65The samples directory and subdirectories contain (tested) Makefile.vc files
66for use with Visual C++. Move to the samples directory and type
67nmake -f Makefile.vc to build. Alternatively you can enter each sample
68directory (demo,sample, etc) and run the command there to build the
69individual sample.

88ONE MORE WARNING
89-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
90
91I've no experience with the Windows version, but X/GTK users beware! It's
92not entirely impossible that the samples will crash your X-server, so save
93important data in other apps before you start messing with this stuff!

106Hello,
107
108just uploaded latest frame-layout stuff to:
109
110http://soften.ktu.lt/~alex/newest/fl_src_3_4.zip
111
112and shots to

117Makefiles are currently for wxGtk (cannot write them
118for windows compilers that easily), but the same
119source code compiles and runs with MSVC (4.0) as well.
120
121There are three samples included:
122
123fl_test - shows off functionality of new plugins.
124fl_sample - may serve as an fl programming-example.
125fl_demo - more complex one, code adopted form the very first demo
126 that i've released 2months ago.
127
128(and manual.html, which is kind of useless at the moment)
129
130huh, singing off for 2days now...
