title: How do I get the FLTK library to run in Visual Studio 2012 Prfessional?
body: <p>I would like to start off with saying I am a very novice programmer. </p>
  
  <p>I have downloaded and re-downloaded many different libraries claiming to be the FLTK library that will run with Visual Studio 2012, and after reading countless ways to install it, I finally got one way to work, and tested it with a sample code to open a window, but all that opens is the console. I have made the changes in the properties menu, I have added the FL folder to input and the .lib files to the lib folder, but this is all I can get. Can someone please help?</p>
  
  <pre><code>    #include &lt;FL/Fl.h&gt;
      #include &lt;FL/Fl_box.h&gt;
      #include &lt;FL/Fl_Window.h&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>//<strong><em>*</em>**<em>*</em>**<em>*</em>**<em>*</em>**<em>*</em></strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>    int main() 
    {
      Fl_Window window(200, 200, "Window title");
      Fl_Box box(0,0,200,200, "Hey, I mean, He llo, World! ");
      window.show();
      return Fl::run();
    }
  </code></pre>
