I basically had to write my own Fl_Native_File_Chooser class (although Windows' dialogs are much nicer than FLTK's, anyway). I'd say just include a "known good" FLTK2 release in the Dillo tarball, and modify the build system to use that copy instead of the system one. As an added bonus, it might make Dillo more attractive to Linux distributions, since they don't have to add an unreleased dependency library to include an up-to-date Dillo package.

I've not tested it though. Today I made some tests, and found that newer FLTK2 versions as alpha-r8800, changed the internal API, rendering some parts of dillo-2.2.1 unusable. (e.g. "Open file", Close dialog, Repost dialog). fltk-2.0.x-r7513 works fine for me. The simple solution is to suggest a library version range in the README. e.g. "The FLTK2 library is statically linked into Dillo2. You can get it from fltk.org. The recommended version is >= r6916 and <=r7513 http://fltk.org/software.php?VERSION=2.0.x-r7513" Comments? -- Cheers Jorge.-

Hi, Does anybody know whether eliminating "large" panel creates a problem with Mac OSX? It used to have a global menu bar that merged that part of the GUI. TIA. -- Cheers Jorge.-

That is also the order in my file :) 64/32bit issue? (i'm at 64bits, remember?) higuita -- Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.

Yeah, it's similar to what I'd mentioned before about URW Chancery L only having an italic form. I suppose that, in the general case, we probably care more about matching the font family than about matching the weight/style.
