As I waited for the answer, yesterday I installed MinGW using mingw-get-inst-20120426.exe (version April 26, 2012). Then I installed MSYS using MSYS-1.0.11.exe installing above MSYS created by mingw-get-inst-20120426.exe. So I did the tar xvzf fltk-1.3.1-source.tar.gz. So I run ./configure then make and make install. OK. Finally I eventually in MSYS to compile the sample using fltk-config --compile hello.cxx. Hurra!! If I want to build the sample using the DOS prompt, how can I do if fltk-config is not recognized (not fltk-config.exe) ?
