| Printing contributes significant size in the shared library. This patch lets it be disabled, saving 185kb off libfltk.so. | |

| Agreed, printing support seems currently intertwined in very low level
code, and pulls in a lot of overhead that many apps might not need.
I see it's implemented here as a compile time option, but perhaps
we can make it runtime configurable, e.g. w/func ptrs, or some such.
(I can envision projects that want to build multiple FLTK apps,
some might need printing, some might not) | |

| Hm, how about a separate libfltk_print? Just like forms and images. | |

| I believe that printing can be disabled in branch-1.3-porting.
Since this won't be fixed in 1.3.x, this renders this STR useless (resolved), IMHO.
Can we close this STR? | |

| Why not move the target to 1.4, until it's confirmed it can be disabled? | |

| No problem, bumped version from 1.3 to 1.4-feature, and changed priority from 2 (low) to 1 (RFE).
Note that the posted patch (fltk-no-printing.diff) was against FLTK 1.3.x and that the internals have changed a lot in FLTK 1.4.
I can see the CMake option "OPTION_PRINT_SUPPORT:BOOL=ON" that can be turned OFF to disable print support, but I can't tell how (if) this works on different platforms. I didn't find a configure option, but I didn't search hard. The above mentioned patch seems to provide a configure option, so this might complete the solution.
More investigation needed... | |

| Lauri, can we close this STR?
Does the CMake option work for you?
Do we still need an equivalent configure option? | |
| |

| I can't test anything in over a month. In general all config options are needed in both systems. | |

| Fixed in Subversion repository.
Thanks to Manolo for fixing this issue in svn r12131.
Lauri, please confirm that this works / is sufficient for you, and if so, please close this STR. Thanks. | |

| Still going to be a while, I'm afraid. | |

| Just a reminder: can we now close this STR? | |
