I just tried what the second link you gave me said, and my program compiled! I would be all cheery, and this is great, I can finally start coding, BUT I still can't get Code::Blocks to build my projects (which would save me a LOT of time, instead of using MSYS).
Where is my link line, and how can I put my lib before my project? Sorry I'm new to this and am asking all these questions! (surely you have better things to do hehe). I really appreciate the help everyone here has given me :). It's a really nice community (that I'm going to become a part of, when I get this darn thing working... :)). :) _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
