    FLTK (Fast Light Toolkit)

    I'm using Windows Vista - Visual C++ IDE, and I want to install and use this FLTK with my Visual C++ IDE. I followed the steps, but when I try to compile and run something this window appears. It says: Unable to start program 'C:\Users\Adrian G. Mowrey\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\ExampleFLTK\Debug\ExampleFLTK.exe'. The system cannot find the file specified.

    What should I do to make it work? Thank you.

    Does that file exist?

    I have followed the steps in the book I have (Programming Principles and Practice using C++), but when I tried to create a Win32 empty project...I added a C++ file where I added the following code:
    Code:
    #include <FL/Fl.h>
    #include <Fl/Fl_Box.h>
    #include <Fl/Fl_Window.h>
    
    int main()
    {
    	Fl_Window window(200, 200, "Window title");
    	Fl_Box box(0, 0, 200, 200, "Hey, I mean, Hello, World!");
    	window.show();
    	return Fl::run();
    }
    to be able to test and see if FLTK works, but it won't work when I try to Start Debugging the project.

    I meant to ask if the file ExampleFLTK.exe exists on your system at the path specified.

    Are you sure the compile succeeded then? Were there any build errors?

    Sometimes this happens to me when the project has a non-default output folder, or Visual Studio decides to put the binary a couple folders up when the solution has multiple projects, etc. In which case it's easy to just go up a few folders (C:\Users\Adrian G. Mowrey\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\) and search for "ExampleFLTK". Look for the executable, open containing folder.
