Yes, I'm afraid that may be the easiest option in the short term. I don't think that any of the "core" team are actively working on fltk2 now, they mostly seem (like me) to have been drawn into supporting fltk-1.x because they needed it to maintain their own applications. Dejan and a few other hardy souls were working on fltk2, but it was very hard work with so few of them, and I suspect that effort has largely faded away now? > As you said,I was seriously thinking of correcting the > fluid2(already started).

It may just take someone to pick up the banner of fltk2 to get it working again. A fair number of projects are using fltk2 "in the wild" (I'm thinking of dillo and cinepaint and so forth, and it seems Stroustrup refers to it in his latest book) so there may be life in it yet if a sufficient mass of devs can be motivated.
