Ive just installed FLTK on my macbook pro OSX10.6 and tried to run a file which is given to me called makefile.FLTK in a directory.
In command line I do

make -f makefile.FLTK

and it kinda compiles then say

g++ -o cursor cursor.o -L/usr/local/lib -lfltk -lXext -lXft -lfontconfig -lXinerama -lpthread -ldl -lm -lX11
ld: library not found for -lXext
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [cursor] Error 1

I followed this https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/150040/
Could someone please help me.

Here are some possibilities:
1. The Xext library is not installed.
2. The Xext library is not installed in the directory expected (/usr/local/lib)
3. The Xext library is not in the right format. I'm not really sure you would get the same error text for this case.

The easiest case to check is number 2. In Terminal, cd /usr/local/lib and "ls -l libXext*" to see if the file is there. I'm not sure what the file extension would be, but it could be "so", "a", "dylib...".

If it is there, then you have case 3. It means you have to make/install the library in the correct format. If it isn't there, it could still be on the system somewhere.

If you find the library in another directory, then you'll probably want to edit the Makefile.fltk so that it will look in that directory.

Hey, what happens if the file is not there? Seems like mine isnt there, I just installed Xcode from the sl disc.

Assuming, you're running Snow Leopard, it looks like the X11 libraries are located in:
/usr/X11/lib
(and also in /usr/X11R6/lib)

You'll stilll have to fix your Makefile to use that location.
Probably try this on the command line:

g++ -o cursor cursor.o -L/usr/local/lib -lfltk -L/usr/X11/lib -lXext -lXft -lfontconfig -lXinerama -lpthread -ldl -lm -lX11

The -L option specifies the path to a library directory. You may have to read the man page if I didn't get it right.

If that works, then you'll want to find a similar line in the Makefile, accounting for the fact that the library path could be specified in a makefile variable (i.e. not a direct search/replace).

Firstly thanks for taking your time in helping me. Im a newbie with FLTK just starting it, we have work machine at uni working, but I really like to be able to work at home on my own computer.

Ive tried what you said below is my make file

Code: 
LIBS = -lfltk -L/usr/X11/lib -lXext -lXft -lfontconfig -lXinerama -lpthread -ldl -lm -lX11
LDPATH = -L/usr/local/lib 
CPP = g++
INC = -I. -I/usr/local/include


all: 		cursor


cursor: 	cursor.o
		$(CPP) -o cursor cursor.o $(LDPATH) $(LIBS)

cursor.o: 	cursor.cxx
		$(CPP) -c $(INC) cursor.cxx 

clean:
		rm -f *.o
		rm -f cursor

and here is cursor.cxx

Code:

Pretty much I installed FLTK on my desktop,simply by downloading the file off the site extract to desktop In command window I did

./configure
make
sudo make install

I take it failed, but you didn't describe the failure. The Makefile looks okay to me. Did you confirm the X11 libraries were in that other location /usr/X11/lib?

Another semi-common failure mode is that the order of libraries for linking is wrong. You could move the fltk library to the end. Most likely that library depends on X11 libraries, so you want to list the "symbols" for the linker to know earlier. You can think of it like "#include" where the linker will throw an error when something isn't declared before it is used.
