I found a program that I want to package but it requires Fast Light Tool Kit (FLTK). The source is a single file with no readme and I'm not exactly sure how to package the software. Has anyone worked with FLTK that might be able to help me with this?

it is packaged abundantly. What is the question?

fltk /mnt/nfs/var/ftp/pub/mirror/redhat/rawhide/SRPMS/fltk-1.1.10-4.fc15.src.rpm

also in epel and fedora for since forever

I know that FLTK is packaged. What I'm trying to figure out is how to package a program that requires FLTK to compile. I'm not familar with FLTK and the software I downloaded didn't come with any README or instructions for compiling. So I was hoping someone knew about FLTK and what I needed to do to package this software that requires FLTK to build. The source I downloaded contained a single file so I'm not sure what needs to happen.

Does the software you like to package provide something like a configure script or similar? Maybe it would help if you could post a link to the software you actually like to package.

I think it's likely something like a "BuildRequires: fltk" already should be enough. I'd suggest to just try out that and see what happens. :)

Well, since asking upstream for a copy of the license to ship is required for the guidelines, maybe a simple Makefile could be asked for as well.
