Below is what I have done. If I have the file with the executable it works. I
am trying to avoid embedding the image into the code because I don't want to
significantly increase the amount of code that has to compile as it goes
through the pictures values. I have looked and haven't found anything yet that
solves my issue. So I decided to join up and ask myself.
#include <FL/Fl.H>
#include <FL/Fl_Window.H>
#include <FL/Fl_BMP_Image.H>
#include <FL/Fl_Button.H>
#include <FL/Fl_Box.H>
void close_cb(Fl_Widget*, void*)
{
exit(0);
}
int main ()
{
Fl_Window *win;
Fl_Box *box;
Fl_Button *close;
win = new Fl_Window (350, 300);
win->begin();
box = new Fl_Box (10, 10, 250, 250);
box->box(FL_UP_BOX);
close = new Fl_Button(200, 270, 50, 25, "Close");
close->callback(close_cb);
Fl_BMP_Image jpg("C:/Users/Marick/My Pictures/image.bmp");
box->image(jpg);
win->end ();
win->show ();
return(Fl::run());
}
