You need fltk 1.3 for the patch linked below. You should first try to build fltk 1.3 w/o the patch and see if this works. > So, how is it possible ? Is it the wright way or not ?

No, standard FLTK releases don't include multiple mice support. > Where is the file test/multiplemice ? It is included in the patch you mentioned. You'll get it when you install the patch.

I tried to install it, but couldn't get configure to work because of errors related to PKG_CHECK_MODULES. :-( I'll have another try later, but this will definitely not go into the next release (fltk 1.3.0).

I don't know, but I read something about gtk patches/updates, hence gtk might have it already. What are you trying to do with it? I'm curious what it is good for (in practice).
