Thanks Greg,

I was about reporting it to tigervnc and see it is done yet and there are several linux distributions users 
making pressure to make the update to FLTK 1.4.


https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/issues/1949

I have also reported our issue in NetBSD (I have used IA only for polishing my primitive english):

Hi,

We are also affected by this issue on NetBSD.

TigerVNC currently requires FLTK 1.3. I have tried compiling it against FLTK 1.4.5, but unfortunately, I was unable to get it to work.

The problem is that FLTK 1.3 conflicts with FLTK 1.4, and both versions cannot coexist in NetBSD pkgsrc. Consequently, installing TigerVNC forces us to use FLTK 1.3, potentially breaking other applications that depend on FLTK 1.4, such as GNU Octave.

We would greatly appreciate it if you could update TigerVNC to support FLTK 1.4.5, the latest stable release.

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

Best regards,
Ramiro.
