Yes. > I noticed a bug listed here: > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg08296.html > Am having the same issue.

For now I suggest to patch the FLTK sources as mentioned above.

There's no way to change this with a configure option or an environment variable, but I modified the check to look for "/usr " (note the trailing space) in the first place, so that I could simplify the check. I hope this works for your and doesn't break other MinGW installs. Please check if this (svn r 9328) is okay. Ian, could you please check this with your older MinGW install, too? > One last thing I wanted to know about building with mingw is with regards to > the following compiler flags: > -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ > I'm trying to build the applications so I don't have to distribute the > standard c and c++ libraries.
