3. Just in case you plan to link FLTK to s dynamically linked library: You can not link FLTK statically multiple times in the same app. If you link FLTK (or any other library) dynamically once, you can't link it again statically.

Yes, I can't really see that working out - This is under WinXX I think? Anyway, I think you'd need to build fltk as a DLL and use that, if there's a lot of other DLL's and they all want to interact with the fltk lib at runtime.

For what it’s worth, under Virtual Studio, I can only statically link any library into the final application. Although I access FLTK methods in my own library, they can only be linked when I bring all the .libs together in the application.
