I don't understand what you mean here, but I should take a look
at the sources first...

I wouldn't recommend to do that now, unless you need it yourself.
FLTK 1.3 is in development, and this will take some time.

But your help will be appreciated, when we start doing it ;-)

Sorry, but it wasn't that obvious - see below.

I found this, but the download file was named:

FLTK_1.x-DirectFB.git-0e7bfeaf7a1133a2b9bc2f14125ac4a29837799b.tar.gz

Note: ".tar.gz" ! That's what happened:

$ tar -tvzf 
FLTK_1.x-DirectFB.git-0e7bfeaf7a1133a2b9bc2f14125ac4a29837799b.tar.gz

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors


Now I took a closer look:

$ file FLTK_1.x-DirectFB.git-0e7bfeaf7a1133a2b9bc2f14125ac4a29837799b.tar.gz

FLTK_1.x-DirectFB.git-0e7bfeaf7a1133a2b9bc2f14125ac4a29837799b.tar.gz: POSIX 
tar archive


AHA! Then I used:

$ tar -tvf FLTK_1.x-DirectFB.git-0e7bfeaf7a1133a2b9bc2f14125ac4a29837799b.tar.gz

drwxrwxr-x root/root         0 2009-03-27 10:43 ports/FLTK_1.x-DirectFB.git/
-rw-rw-r-- root/root     41836 2009-03-27 10:43 
ports/FLTK_1.x-DirectFB.git/ANNOUNCEMENT
-rw-rw-r-- root/root    140780 2009-03-27 10:43 
ports/FLTK_1.x-DirectFB.git/CHANGES
[...]

Okay, now this is usable :-)
