I guess the approach you suggested is much simpler and direct than what I
was trying to do. I don't know how to use the fltk-config script. Would you
please explain to me as to how I can customize settings so that I can
extract fltk-1.3.0 under /home/asif/libs and use the same tree for building
and libs (as is normally done in Windows case by default)?

Best regards, Asif
