Thank you for the reply. I built the debug version of all the sample applications. Everything went just fine. I noticed that the include libraries were fltkd.lib, wsock32.lib... and, guess what? comctl32.lib! It was not listed in the documentation as a requirement. I wonder why...
Anyway, now my hello world application works in both debug and release mode (here I switched of course to fltk.lib) just perfectlty! About the mailing list: I have no idea how to proceed with it, because there is not a single explanation how to reply to specific messages from it. It is the same story as with the include library - lack of documentation. You can't expect everyone to be perfect and to know everything about anything on this world. Until now I didn't know how to handle mailing lists. Now I know how to write you a reply in the proper way. Actually, I am disappointed that you are so harsh to a newbie like me. I hope to get further help and support about FLTK in the near future. 2008/11/16 imacarthur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > On 16 Nov 2008, at 7:14, Zdravko Monov wrote: > > I am using VS2008 on Vista SP1 with FLTK 1.1.9. >> I extract the tar in a folder in My Documents.
