1This is Aleksandras Gluchovas' framelayout library.

6ORGANIZATION
7-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
8
9/src contains the library source. The default makefile will create a
10(shared) library, for example wx_fl_gtk.so.0.1.
11
12/samples contains (so far) three samples, ingeniously called 'sample',
13'test' and 'demo'.
14
15Each dir also contains an Unix Makefile.in for automatic makefile generation
16for configure, but so far it's not automatic :-)
17Instead, a shell script make_Linux_make is provided for this. It should be
18trivial to adapt this for other systems that use a configure build.
19
20/samples/bitmaps contains bitmaps that are needed by the samples.
21
22YOU NEED TO RUN THE SAMPLES FROM THIS BITMAP DIR otherwise the binaries
23can't find their pics and horrible things will ensue.

25<03-12-99 Russell>
26/samples/demo/fl_demo no longer needs to be run from the bitmap dir under
27windows, it now uses windows resources.

30BUILDING
31-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
32
33for Unix-like systems:
34
35./configure should have set things up nicely in the src dir. Just type make
36; make install to build and install the library.
37
38to make the samples, run samples/make_Linux_make, then type make in each
39sample dir. Non-Linux users should tweak the make_Linux_make script first.
40
41Note that a fl has not been tested with wxMotif yet...
42
43for Windows systems:
44
45The src directory contains a few untested makefiles. Pick one, and best of
46luck!
47
48NOTE: src/Makefile.vc has been tested and works well. (Russell)
49
50<Added 3-11-99>
51The samples directory and subdirectories contain (tested) Makefile.vc files
52for use with Visual C++. Move to the samples directory and type
53nmake -f Makefile.vc to build. Alternatively you can enter each sample
54directory (demo,sample, etc) and run the command there to build the
55individual sample.

74ONE MORE WARNING
75-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
76
77I've no experience with the Windows version, but X/GTK users beware! It's
78not entirely impossible that the samples will crash your X-server, so save
79important data in other apps before you start messing with this stuff!

91
92Hello,
93
94just uploaded latest frame-layout stuff to:

97

103Makefiles are currently for wxGtk (cannot write them
104for windows compilers that easily), but the same
105source code compiles and runs with MSVC (4.0) as well.
106
107There are three samples included:
108
109fl_test - shows off functionality of new plugins.
110fl_sample - may serve as an fl programming-example.
111fl_demo - more complex one, code adopted form the very first demo
112 that i've released 2months ago.
113
114(and manual.html, which is kind of useless at the moment)
115
116huh, singing off for 2days now...
