From sourceforge of project page:
Here is quick hack for problem so you can try to apply it:
- go to directory where you extracted efltk
- then try to open Fl_Text_Buffer.h (it is in efltk headers
directory)
- go to line 81 and instead
"char* Fl_Text_Buffer::static_buffer();"
place
"char* static_buffer();"
Then run "make clean" and "make".
Let we go with the second try Use previous steps, but
this time with Fl_Combo_Box.h file. Locate lines 26 and 27
and instead:
static void Fl_Combo_Box::cb_browse(Fl_Widget *w, void *data);
static void Fl_Combo_Box::cb_button(Fl_Widget *w, void *data);
put:
static void cb_browse(Fl_Widget *w, void *data);
static void cb_button(Fl_Widget *w, void *data);
I got some error about missing library, so I copied files from build directory of efltk /lib to /usr/lib, and it compiled sucessfuly.
After that I tried to compile ede but it says that version of efltk is too old, so I edited configure file to skip checking for efltk version by removing some code (quick and dirty but works)
EFLTK_VERSION="`efltk-config --version`"
case "$EFLTK_VERSION" in "2.0."[34])
                echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: yes" >&5
echo "${ECHO_T}yes" >&6
        { { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: error: It seems that you have older efltk version. Required is >= 2.0.3" >&5
echo "$as_me: error: It seems that you have older efltk version. Required is >= 2.0.3" >&2;}
   { (exit 1); exit 1; }; }
esac
It compiles and runs fine, but it is quite ugly, looks like kde 2.x or windows 95 ;P
