Yes, I really mean 2.x !
This code is from FLTK 1.3, src/Fl_win32.cxx, line 1554 ff.:
// Drag-n-drop requires GCC 3.x or a non-GNU compiler...
#if !defined(__GNUC__) || __GNUC__ >= 3
// Register all windows for potential drag'n'drop operations
static char oleInitialized = 0;
if (!oleInitialized) { OleInitialize(0L); oleInitialized=1; }
...
As it stands, this would only exclude gcc < 3.x from compiling
the following code. However, Fl_Native_File_Chooser::showdir()
calls OleInitialize() unconditionally. Instead of "fixing" this,
I believe that we could require at least gcc 3.x (other compilers
are not affected here).
---
Does anybody think that we still need to support gcc 2.x (or even
older)? If not, we could remove that __GNUC__ conditional instead
of adding more at other places to make it consistent.
There are about 15 more hits that test __GNUC__ >= 3 in the
FLTK 1.3 code. These could probably all be removed as well
(I didn't check yet, but that should be obvious).

Release dates <http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/releases.html>
GCC 2.95.3 March 16, 2001
GCC 3.0 June 18, 2001
GCC 3.1 May 15, 2002

I vote for dropping gcc 2.x support and removing the #if's to
simplify the code for FLTK 1.3 and later.
Please give your comments and votes!

P.S. This is only one step to consolidate the code WRT the
OleInitialize/OleUninitialize problem discussed elsewhere in
fltk.development.
