NAME
  Alien::FLTK2 - Build and use the Fast Light Toolkit binaries

Description
  This distribution builds and installs libraries for the (stable) "1.3.x"
  branch of the FLTK GUI toolkit.

Synopsis
    use Alien::FLTK2;
    use ExtUtils::CBuilder;
    my $AF     = Alien::FLTK2->new();
    my $CC     = ExtUtils::CBuilder->new();
    my $source = 'hello_world.cxx';
    open(my $FH, '>', $source) || die '...';
    syswrite($FH, <<'') || die '...'; close $FH;
      #include <FL/Fl.H>
      #include <FL/Fl_Window.H>
      #include <FL/Fl_Box.H>
      int main(int argc, char **argv) {
        Fl_Window *window = new Fl_Window(300,180);
        Fl_Box *box = new Fl_Box(FL_UP_BOX, 20, 40, 260, 100, "Hello, World!");
        box->labelfont(FL_BOLD + FL_ITALIC);
        box->labelsize(36);
        box->labeltype(FL_SHADOW_LABEL);
        window->end();
        window->show(argc, argv);
        return Fl::run();
    }

    my $obj = $CC->compile('C++'                => 1,
                           source               => $source,
                           include_dirs         => [$AF->include_dirs()],
                           extra_compiler_flags => $AF->cxxflags()
    );
    my $exe = $CC->link_executable(objects            => $obj,
                                   extra_linker_flags => $AF->ldflags());
    print system('./' . $exe) ? 'Aww...' : 'Yay!';
    END { unlink grep defined, $source, $obj, $exe; }

Requirements
  Prerequisites differ by system...

  * Win32
      The fltk libs and Alien::FLTK both build right out of the box with
      MinGW. Further testing is needed for other setups.

  * X11/*nix
      X11-based systems require several development packages. On Debian, these
      may be installed with:

        > sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
        > sudo apt-get install libxi-dev

      Additionally, the optional XCurser lib may be installed with:

        > sudo apt-get install libxcursor-dev

  * Darwin/OSX
      Uh, yeah, I have no idea.

Installation
  The distribution is based on Module::Build, so use the following procedure:

      > perl Build.PL
      > ./Build
      > ./Build test
      > ./Build install
