Please mention on the FLTK website in an easily readable way how tocompile FLTK 1.5 on Linux/Debian with both debug information andoptimizations as a shared (not static) library

This is not something we would mention "on the FLTK website", this wouldrather be in the documentation, and we can't publish special advice fora particular system like "Linux/Debian".

Since many recent GCC compilers accept all of `-fPIC -shared -O -g`

FLTK 1.5 uses CMake exclusively, and CMake adds appropriate compilerswitches (not only for gcc) automatically. What you want seems to bedone if you enable the build of shared libraries in "Debug" mode, i.e.

$ cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -D FLTK_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON # ...more options

This is all documented in README.CMake.txt which every user building thelibrary should consult anyway.


Or did I miss anything?

I don't think that it is appropriate to explicitly mention what youproposed above. Other users would need to know which other compilerflags *they* want to set. This is up to the user to decide.
