[Debichem-devel] Bug#974622: drawxtl: Please migrate to FLTK 1.3

[ucko at debian.org]

Source: drawxtl
Version: 5.5-5
Severity: normal
Usertags: fltk1.1-to-1.3

drawxtl still builds against FLTK 1.1, for which it is long past time
for Debian to drop support. Please migrate to 1.3, which is likely as
simple as adjusting drawxtl's build dependencies and ensuring that it
uses UTF-8 rather than a legacy text encoding.

Also, please note that fltk-config (in both branches) differs from
typical *-config scripts in having --libs yield paths to *static*
libraries. If your build has been making use of this syntax, please
substitute --ldflags to obtain proper dynamic linkage. (FLTK does not
yet offer pkg-config metadata, sorry.)
