Fast Light Toolkit:Reviews

Review of Fast Light Toolkit by PaulBlay

Usage background

Preferred IDE : Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition

Preferred Platform : Windows XP

Other requirements sought : Unicode support / Works with SQLite

Experience with Qt

I had some initial problems getting the Hello World project to compile with FLTK. This was due to an omission in the online instructions. When compiling with VC++ you need to explicitly define WIN32 (e.g. /DWIN32 in the C/C++ compiler command line). Also where it says COMCTRL32.LIB it should say COMCTL32.LIB. Having sorted those points out I actually got my "Hello World" displayed!

Conclusion

At this point this appears to be the most hopeful looking of all the toolkits I have tried. I will most likely add to this review as I find out more about it.
