History: Using Ogre with FLTK FLUID

Source of version: 5 (current)

{maketoc}

I consider what you have a little experience in using FLTK library and its user interface desinger - Fluid. I'am using a FLTK library v2.0 and its GUI editor Fluid wich you can get through Subversion system [http://www.fltk.org/software.php|fltk download page].
