The problem appears because you're trying to link FLTK statically. This is not a method that is particularly well supported with today's development tools. The major issue is how do you follow dependency chains to figure out what to pull in? Unfortunately the answer is by hand. Which makes it impossible to write a generic build system as the dependencies will depend on what versions of libraries you have, how they are compiled, your platform, your compiler, etc. Still, this is something that has been bothering me. So although I think we should recommend linking dynamically as the "official" way, we could see if we can make it easier to hack together a static build. Perhaps provide examples for certain configurations.
