FLTK Installation Instructions

FLTK can be installed from source that you've compiled or using one of the many pre-built binary distributions:

Installing from Source
Installing the Digital UNIX® Distribution
Installing the HP-UX Distribution
Installing the IRIX^TM Distribution
Installing the Linux Distribution
Installing the Solaris® Distribution
Installing the Microsoft Windows® Distribution

Installing from Source

To install from source you'll first need to grab the FLTK source code and build the software with the make command. To install FLTK, type make install.

By default the installed software is placed under the /usr/local directory. To change the location of the installation, use the --prefix option of the configuration script:

./configure --prefix=/full/directory/path Enter

prior to building and installing the software.

Installing the Digital UNIX Distribution

The Digital UNIX distribution is in setld format. To install the distribution type:

gunzip fltk-1.0.1-dunix.tar.gz Enter
