Are you absolutely sure you've got the 0.88 header file (forms.h)
installed and that's the one you're getting when you compile?
The 0.86 FL_OBJECT looks like
typedef struct flobjs_
{
struct forms_ *form; /* the form this object belong */
void *u_vdata; /* anything user likes */
long u_ldata; /* anything user lines */
int objclass; /* class of object, button, slider etc */
int type; /* type within the class */
[...]
whereas the 0.88 FL_OBJECT looks like
typedef struct flobjs_
{
struct forms_ *form; /* the form this object belongs to */
void *u_vdata; /* anything the user likes */
char *u_cdata; /* anything the user likes */
long u_ldata; /* anything the user likes */
int objclass; /* class of object, button, slider etc */
int type; /* type within the class */
[...]
Note that there's an extra field (u_cdata) in 0.88's FL_OBJECT
definition. This would explain the shift of the dimensions, which are
defined later on in the structure.
If you have any precompiled functions or libraries which haven't been
rebuilt since 0.86, you'll need to rebuild them, too, since they will
probably do something strange if you reference any of the members of
the FL_OBJECT or FL_FORM structures, as well as possibly others.
BTW, a note to TC: if possible, it'd be nice if the user could specify
the name of the free object handler in fdesign.
