Hi, The difference in FTGL packages size is because when IUP was releases I repackage the FTGL sources, and that included a folder that shouldn't have been included. I will fix this in latest releases. Thanks for reporting.
The FTGL present in SourceForge was abandoned. We decided to modified that source to fix a few problems and include some features we need. So the FTGL used by CD and IUP is not the oficial FTGL. About the text in "Building Lua, IM, CD and IUP in Linux" at "Unpacking", that is simply an example. Not to be kept updated with the latest version numbers.
