What shell are you running this in? Are you using Msys? (You should be, it is way better than a DOS box.) Anyway, maybe you have the wrong type of quote marks around the string, so that it is not being expanded correctly. Recall that in a posix-like shell, the three different quote-marks mean quite different things. In this case, to get the fltk-config call evaluated, you need to be using single-back-ticks (I don't know what the proper name for these is, but this symbol: ` Here's what I get in an Msys shell: $ FL_TEST=`fltk-config --use-images --ldstaticflags` $ echo $FL_TEST -mwindows -L/usr/local/lib -mno-cygwin /usr/local/lib/libfltk_images.a -lpng -lz -ljpeg /usr/local/lib/libfltk.a -lole32 -luuid -lcomctl32 -lwsock32 Which, as you can see, has worked as desired. > And I have the location of fltk-config in my PATH. OK - what does which fltk-config return then? SELEX Galileo Ltd Registered Office: Sigma House, Christopher Martin Road, Basildon, Essex SS14 3EL A company registered in England & Wales.
