I have a small C++ app that uses several FLTK features and currently runs well from the command line - I want to run it at boot-up using rc.local for auto start, but I don't know if the desktop GUI is required to be running for FLTK-based apps to operate.  Can one run a FLTK app without having first launched the GUI?


It depends what you are doing, really.

Under X11, with fltk, so long as you do not do anything that opens the display, the application can run without X.

The classic example of this is the "fluid -c" operation, where fluid runs but does not open its display, so can be run even with no GUI context.

Is that what you are asking?
Or do you mean something else?
