Re: Re: can I change the default attributes so I can set"global attributes" roger tunnicliffe Oct 01, 2022  
 
FL_NORMAL_SIZE = 11;
FL_NORMAL_SIZE’ does not name a type

Fl_Fontsize FL_NORMAL_SIZE = 11;
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfltk.a(Fl_Widget.o):(.data+0x0): multiple definition of `FL_NORMAL_SIZE'; /tmp/ccdB
GgUp.o:(.data+0x0): first defined here

Maybe I should explain myself to give some background to what I am trying to do.

I am assembler programmer and have written a programming language called languageONE (my 1st language).
It is built on a set of macro's in order to mimic a 3rd generation language. You may visit the site at www.languageONE.com.au 
if you have any interest in doing so. 

Having said that I have been trying to incorporate fltk as a GUI for the language. I believe it is going well but I found C++ to
be a very strange abstraction. I am hoping that you are able to bear with me while  I deal with it's idiosyncrasies. 

I do "goggle" a great deal beforehand but sadly I cannot at the moment tell what is an fltk issue or a C++ issue. I am in fact very
close to completing the task so I should not be bothering anyone too much more. Again, I trust you are able to bear with me. 

Thanking you in advance for your patience.
Cheers
Roger

Yes, Roger, it does. But this (setting the widget font sizes globally)
has been explained by Manolo in his reply from Sep 30 together with a
lot of other global initializations:

"All widgets use this font size for their text
Fl_Fontsize FL_NORMAL_SIZE = 14;
you can change the value of this public global variable."

In short: you just need to assign
  `FL_NORMAL_SIZE = 11;`
at the beginning of your program, i.e. before all widgets are created.

Note: despite the capital letters this is not a macro, it's a global
variable.
