  20 ORGANIZATION
  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
  29 Each dir also contains an Unix Makefile.in for automatic makefile generation
  30 for configure, but so far it's not automatic :-)
  31 Instead, a shell script make_Linux_make is provided for this. It should be
  32 trivial to adapt this for other systems that use a configure build.
  33
  34 /samples/bitmaps contains bitmaps that are needed by the samples.
  35
  36 YOU NEED TO RUN THE SAMPLES FROM THIS BITMAP DIR otherwise the binaries
  37 can'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
  41 windows, it now uses windows resources.
  42
  43 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  44 BUILDING
  45 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  46
  47 for 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
  52 to make the samples, run samples/make_Linux_make, then type make in each
  53 sample dir. Non-Linux users should tweak the make_Linux_make script first.
  54
  55 Note that a fl has not been tested with wxMotif yet...
  56
  57 for Windows systems:
  58
  59 The src directory contains a few untested makefiles. Pick one, and best of
  60 luck!
  61
  62 NOTE: src/Makefile.vc has been tested and works well. (Russell)
  63
  64 <Added 3-11-99>
  65 The samples directory and subdirectories contain (tested) Makefile.vc files
  66 for use with Visual C++. Move to the samples directory and type
  67 nmake -f Makefile.vc to build. Alternatively you can enter each sample
  68 directory (demo,sample, etc) and run the command there to build the
  69 individual sample.

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

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

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

 116
 117 Makefiles are currently for wxGtk (cannot write them
 118 for windows compilers that easily), but the same
 119 source code compiles and runs with MSVC (4.0) as well.
 120
 121 There are three samples included:
 122
 123 fl_test   - shows off functionality of new plugins.
 124 fl_sample - may serve as an fl programming-example.
 125 fl_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
 130 huh, singing off for 2days now...
