   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.

  25 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  26 BUILDING
  27 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  28
  29 for Unix-like systems:
  30
  31 ./configure should have set things up nicely in the src dir. Just type make
  32 ; make install to build and install the library.
  33
  34 to make the samples, run samples/make_Linux_make, then type make in each
  35 sample dir. Non-Linux users should tweak the make_Linux_make script first.
  36
  37 Note that a fl has not been tested with wxMotif yet...
  38
  39 for Windows systems:
  40
  41 The src directory contains a few untested makefiles. Pick one, and best of
  42 luck!
  43
  44 NOTE: src/Makefile.vc has been tested and works well. (Russell)
  45
  46 <Added 3-11-99>
  47 The samples directory and subdirectories contain (tested) Makefile.vc files
  48 for use with Visual C++. Move to the samples directory and type
  49 nmake -f Makefile.vc to build. Alternatively you can enter each sample
  50 directory (demo,sample, etc) and run the command there to build the
  51 individual sample.

  70 ONE MORE WARNING
  71 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  72
  73 I've no experience with the Windows version, but X/GTK users beware! It's
  74 not entirely impossible that the samples will crash your X-server, so save
  75 important data in other apps before you start messing with this stuff!

  88 Hello,
  89
  90 just uploaded latest frame-layout stuff to:
  91
  92 http://soften.ktu.lt/~alex/newest/fl_src_3_4.zip
  93
  94 and shots to

  99 Makefiles are currently for wxGtk (cannot write them
 100 for windows compilers that easily), but the same
 101 source code compiles and runs with MSVC (4.0) as well.
 102
 103 There are three samples included:
 104
 105 fl_test   - shows off functionality of new plugins.
 106 fl_sample - may serve as an fl programming-example.
 107 fl_demo   - more complex one, code adopted form the very first demo
 108             that i've released 2months ago.
 109
 110 (and manual.html, which is kind of useless at the moment)
 111
 112 huh, singing off for 2days now...
