| Given this command:
fltk-config --prefix=/home/fltk114cvs --compile dd.cxx
It executes:
gcc -I/usr/local/include [...]
shouldn't it include /home/fltk114cvs/ ?
A trailing "/" in the prefix doesn't help, either.
The "--prefix=DIR" option works only with the "--prefix" and "--exec-prefix" options, which isn't... er... useful.

| The --prefix functionality has never worked, and it will be removed in a future release. The correct method is to use the --prefix option at configure time and then use the corresponding version of fltk-config. | |

| Hmm, it still doesn't seem to work, even if you build
FLTK (1.1.4rc2) with 'config --prefix /some/path' first:
---- snip
% cd /usr/local/src/fltk-1.1.4rc2
% ./configure --prefix /usr/local/src/fltk-1.1.4rc2
[no errors]
% make
[no errors]
% cd /var/tmp
% /usr/local/src/fltk-1.1.4rc2/fltk-config --compile foo.cxx
gcc -I/usr/local/src/fltk-1.1.4rc2/include [..]
--- snip ^^^^^^^
The problem with the above is the "/include" appended to the -I prefix path; the fltk base directory does not have an 'include' subdir; "FL" is at the top level.
I can work around if I go into the fltk-1.1.4rc2 directory and create an 'include' symlink to ".", then it will work:
----
% cd /usr/local/src/fltk-1.1.4rc2
% ln -s . include
% cd /var/tmp
% /usr/local/src/fltk-1.1.4rc2/fltk-config --compile foo.cxx
gcc -I/usr/local/src/fltk-1.1.4rc2/include [..]
[compiles OK]

| PS. Hmm, somehow the form posting wordwrapped my carats (^^^^^^^) to the next line during submit, even though the WYSIWYG text viewer didn't show it :/ Might be my Mozilla client, or it might be the php. | |

| Try using the --includedir=foo option when you configure.
The fltk-config script isn't designed for use with a non-installed source build, and we don't support it as such. | |

| Thanks; Re-resolved.
I found if I make the prefix same as the includedir, it worked. Thought they'd be the same by default, but I can see why by default they're not.
So this worked for me:
./configure --prefix /usr/local/src/fltk-1.1.4rc2 --includedir=/usr/local/src/fltk-1.1.4rc2
