I've probably done something wrong when installing/uninstalling so many times...
there's a folder FL but it's empty which I noticed that it's normal behavior after uninstalling FLTK (with sudo make uninstall)
[ken01@Manjaro FL]$ pwd /usr/local/include/FL [ken01@Manjaro FL]$ ls [ken01@Manjaro FL]$
but the libs are still there, and they shouldn't...
[ken01@Manjaro lib]$ pwd /usr/local/lib [ken01@Manjaro lib]$ ls libfltk.a libfltk_forms.a libfltk_gl.a libfltk_images.a
so I installed FLTK (sudo make install) and uninstalled it (sudo make uninstall) and the files were automatically removed:
No fltk-config here:
[ken01@Manjaro bin]$ pwd /usr/local/bin [ken01@Manjaro bin]$ ls ccmake cmake cmake-gui cpack ctest whatsapp-for-linux [ken01@Manjaro bin]$
FL folder empty:
[ken01@Manjaro FL]$ pwd /usr/local/include/FL [ken01@Manjaro FL]$ ls [ken01@Manjaro FL]$
No libs:
[ken01@Manjaro lib]$ pwd /usr/local/lib [ken01@Manjaro lib]$ ls [ken01@Manjaro lib]$
but now the Makefile doesn't find the fltk-config...
[ken01@Manjaro 1.make_fltk]$ make make: fltk-config: No such file or directory
and fltk-config is not found even from the home path:
[ken01@Manjaro bin]$ pwd /home/ken01/repos/fltk-1.4.x/build/bin [ken01@Manjaro bin]$ ls examples fltk-config fluid test [ken01@Manjaro bin]$ fltk-config --version bash: fltk-config: command not found
I'm missing something else here?
I deleted the fltk folder and build it again from scratch:
git clone https://github.com/fltk/fltk.git
mkdir build cd build cmake -D 'CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug' -D FLTK_BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON ..
make
but again, the fltk-config is not found... Thanks again for all your help I couldn't figure out all of this on my own!

OK - so this tells us that your shell (and therefore, by extension, your Makefile) are finding and using a fltk-config located in "/usr/local/bin”, which is not the fltk-config in your home folder path (which you have not installed.)
So this would seem to imply there is more than one fltk-1.4 present on your system, I guess, since the next line shows us that the fltk-config your shell finds reports itself to be 1.4.0.

That all looks reasonable, but shows us that the fltk-config your Makefile is calling will be using include files from "/usr/local/include" and libraries linked from "/usr/local/lib" so, again, not the version in your “home" folders.
These are fairly normal install locations on most Linux distros.
Do you know what fltk is actually installed in these locations?
Indeed, is *any* fltk actually installed there at all, or is the fltk-config lying to us?
If you go to "/usr/local/include/FL" is there in fact a folder there, and does it have the various FL header files in it?
Does the file "/usr/local/lib/libfltk.a" exist? Along with the other fltk libs (libfltk_forms.a, libfltk_gl.a, libfltk_images.a)?
