I have msys installed and tried the FLTK installation exactly as the article 
suggested as follows:

./configure --enable-threads --enable-localjpeg --enable-localzlib 
--enable-localpng

I get exactly the same results as before, which ended with:

./configure: test: too many arguments
./configure: test: too many arguments
./configure: test: too many arguments
./configure: test: too many arguments
./configure: test: too many arguments
./configure: test: too many arguments
configure: error: could not make ./config.status
mingw32-make: *** [makeinclude] Error 1
