Hmm, the fltk stuff is pretty new for me. I'm running Kubuntu 9.04,
and freetype, etc., come from the provided packages. My first problem
is that I don't have a clear idea of what libraries (or more usefully
for me, Debian package names) are required.  Perhaps I'm missing a
needed package. I can compile 3.2.x release candidates without
problems, including with the fltk backend. There doesn't seem to be a
switch to disable compilation of the fltk backend in the development
version. Is there some way to do that?
