Re: [Mingw-users] Linking error from within makefile; works fine from command prompt

[Earnie B. <ea...@us...>]

Let's see, I think I did ``mkdir bld && cd bld && ../configure 
--prefix=/mingw && make'' to have a working FLTK.  I don't remember 
right off if that is the path I took but I'm about 80% sure that is what 
I did.
