Hi Friends,
I have this customized LPC1788 board, I did manage to port Linux and used[u] FLTK with Fluid[/u] to create a GUI.  I am not a Linux guy, wanted to do the same thing using Windows. I mean to say I am planning to use FLTK and Fluid in Windows environment.

After going through few tutorials I manage to compile FLTK project in Visual Studio 2013. But I am not getting how to cross compile the same project for Cortex M3 ARM architecture.

Please guide me, it would be a great help if you can guide me to any related tutorial. I have been googling from last two days without much success.
Thank you!

I do not know of any toolchain that you can use for ARM in Visual Studio. You will need to install another toolchain, such as LPCXpresso.

Visual studio does not support cortex-m3. You need to install a tool chain that targets cortex-m3.  As you are posting here, why have you not tried LPCXpresso?
