| I tried to build and install fltk-1.1.9 on my Linux x86_64 system, and so I gave the argument '--libdir=$prefix/lib64' to configure. This failed miserably because there are numerous places in configure.in where hardcoded strings like 'LINKFLTK="../lib/libfltk.a"' are used, defeating the use of '$libdir'. I therefore decided to fix this by changing those occurrences to use '$libdir', but found that I could not rebuild the 'configure' script. Invoking autoreconf yields this:
bash-3.2$ autoreconf

autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoheader failed with exit status: 1
I have not been able to work out what's wrong here. | |

| First, the ../lib/libfltk.a references are necessary for the static linking of locally-compiled programs, particularly fluid-static.
Second, autoreconf is the wrong program to use. Despite the name, autoreconf is not an autoconf tool, but an automake tool. FLTK does *not* use automake, only autoconf. Use "autoconf" to rebuild the configure script.
64-bit builds certainly work for me on RHEL5, so it would be useful to see the full make log and which distribution and version of GCC you have... | |

| The 'make install' step fails:
bash-3.2$ sudo make install
=== installing FL ===
Installing include files in /opt/fltk-1/include...
=== installing src ===
Installing libraries in /opt/fltk-1/lib64...
ranlib: '/opt/fltk-1/lib64/../lib/libfltk.a': No such file
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make: *** [install] Error 1
I could work around this problem by doing
sudo make LIBNAME=libfltk.a FLLIBNAME=libfltk_forms.a GLLIBNAME=libfltk_gl.a IMGLIBNAME=libfltk_images.a install
The 'missing template' errors are generated by autoheader andappear even if autoheader is invoked directly, not through autoreconf. AFAIK autoheader is not part of automake, or am I wrong? | |

| autoheader is part of autoconf, but is only used to update or create tests in a configure.{in|ac) file. You almost never run it directly, and we do not use it, just autoconf.
The make install issue sounds like we should just hardcode the destination filename when we run ranlib - the static library will always be libfltk*.a. | |

| 64 bit systems are not fully supported by the FLTK 1.1.x branch. FLTK 1.3 and beyon will support 64 bit builds. | |

| This STR is obsolete. As Matt noted, FLTK 1.1 does not support 64-bit builds.
FLTK 1.3 works well on 64-bit systems. | |
