There is a "make uninstall" option too, in the build, but if you are  
intending to re-install anyway then I wouldn't bother. A new "make  
install" will overwrite the existing installation.

However, I'd caution *against* installing fltk-1.3 at this stage. The  
libraries and headers that it installs have the same names as the  
ones that fltk-1.1 installs, but have a slightly different API and an  
incompatible ABI.

Probably this does not matter, but I think there are a few things in  
F10 and F11 that depend on the fltk .so files (maybe CUPS and etc,  
and a few others) and they *might break* if you install the fltk-1.3  
libs and those other tools are expecting to find the fltk-1.1 libs  
there...

So, what I'd recommend is, until we sort out the formal release of  
1.3, that you only install it into a local folder for your developer  
use (see the --prefix option to configure), or even simpler, do what  
I do and use fltk-1.3 directly from its build tree.
Fltk is designed to work correctly from its build tree (fltk-config  
has code specifically to detect this use-case, for example), and so  
this is the simplest and easiest option, no installation is required.
You just have to tell your tools (I think you said you were using  
code::blocks) what include and library paths to add, and then it Just  
Works.
