FLUID on windows

[Vladimir Sarkisyan]

Hi

Where can I find fluid executable (fluid.exe) for windows?

I downloaded fltk-1.3.2-source.tar.gz and fltk-1.3.0-source.tar.gz, and I didn't found any executable in the folder fluid. Should I to compile it my self, to create the executable?
On Ubuntu I just installed the fluid via the software center

* I am using eclipse and not visual studio

It will be in the "fluid" subdirectory when you build FLTK.

Yes, that's because you downloaded the source code.
By definition, no executables are included with the source code
downloads.

You have to build the FLTK library to create the executables,
which includes fluid.

You should ignore 1.3.0.
Use either 1.3.2, or take the current FLTK from svn by running:
svn co http://seriss.com/public/fltk/fltk/branches/branch-1.3/ fltk-1.3.x-svn

FLTK doesn't provide binaries, but some third parties
will download our source distros and supply you with
pre-compiled binaries, which is what ubuntu provided
in that case.

I believe Eclipse is an IDE, not a compiler.

I'm guessing Eclipse on windows is probably using the mingw/msys
combo to build C++ applications, and there are FLTK instructions
for building FLTK with that compiler; see the README.MSWindows.txt
which basically involves cd'ing into the FLTK directory and from
a DOS window running:

./configure
make

..that should build fluid/fluid.exe, and all the test programs
in test/*.exe.
