   1 This is Aleksandras Gluchovas' framelayout library.

   3 Please read this file for information on compiling and reporting bugs.

   6 ORGANIZATION
   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
  15 Each dir also contains an Unix Makefile.in for automatic makefile generation
  16 for configure, but so far it's not automatic :-)
  17 Instead, a shell script make_Linux_make is provided for this. It should be
  18 trivial to adapt this for other systems that use a configure build.
  19
  20 /samples/bitmaps contains bitmaps that are needed by the samples.
  21
  22 YOU NEED TO RUN THE SAMPLES FROM THIS BITMAP DIR otherwise the binaries
  23 can't find their pics and horrible things will ensue.
  24
  25 <03-12-99 Russell>
  26 /samples/demo/fl_demo no longer needs to be run from the bitmap dir under
  27 windows, it now uses windows resources.

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

  65 If you think the wxwindows developers might be interested as well, send a
  66 mail to the list:

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

  91
  92 Hello,
  93
  94 just uploaded latest frame-layout stuff to:
  95
  96 http://soften.ktu.lt/~alex/newest/fl_src_3_4.zip
  97
  98 and shots to

 102
 103 Makefiles are currently for wxGtk (cannot write them
 104 for windows compilers that easily), but the same
 105 source code compiles and runs with MSVC (4.0) as well.
 106
 107 There are three samples included:
 108
 109 fl_test   - shows off functionality of new plugins.
 110 fl_sample - may serve as an fl programming-example.
 111 fl_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
 116 huh, singing off for 2days now...
