Most of them have a policy of not packing unreleased libraries (quite understandable if you ask me). FLTK-2.0 was never released so, as a most unfortunate side effect, we were left out of the repositories.
That makes sense, though then again I've seen a lot of "released" code in distributions much worse than FLTK-2.0...
One thing I like about Windows development is that, with comparatively little effort, you can produce a single executable that runs on any Windows system. Binary compatibility isn't possible to nearly that extent on Linux/Unix -- the software, even the culture makes it limited and extremely difficult at best. Part of the reason I stopped Unix development, but I digress. I know you probably see things a bit differently.

My apologies to Mr. Johnson - I am used to another list I am on where hitting reply sends it to the list. ?I should have checked before I hit send. So this is perhaps a little off topic, but what is the status of dillo with regard to FLTK 1.3.0? ?Will it be ported to that, or is the plan to continue with the "dead" FLTK 2?For me, it does not really matter a lot - I just grab the source and build it myself, but I was just curious about the direction you fellows are taking.
