Version 1.3.5, built with ./configure ... --includedir=/usr/include/fltk Why do we (Gentoo) do that? I can only guess. Since we're a source- based distribution, installing a package means building it, and that requires us to install the development headers for everything. As a result we tend to be the ones who find out that two headers from different packages share the same name. My guess is that some FLTK header has the same name as a header from another package. By putting the headers in subdirectory, we avoid the name clash. > > Note that all C++ file in the PARI distribution use the .c suffix, > so I would rather keep config/has_fltk.c as it is. > No problem, I'll drop that commit.
