Yes it work if I remove '-mwindows' flag from fltk-config. (Howeever, eigs.cc 
test causes segfault! in
the yesterday run).
 
It is also case for wxWidget case for gnuplot.  I discussed one of the wxWidget 
developer. I proposed
that -mwindows flag is to be removed from wx-config.  However, my proposal is 
rejected because most
users use native windows application. 

Tweaking wx-config is easy but the tweaking without careful consideration is 
better to be avoided. I'm
afraid that it may cause unwanted results when I use wxWidget libraries for 
other applications.

In the case of fltk and octave, I think it would better to modify configure 
setting of octave than to
modify fltk-config.  That is because fltk is not only used for octave. So that 
change of default
setting should be avoided if possible. 

How do other people think about this case ?
