I always run SCons in the MSys BASH shell. I still have the problem with fltk-config. But I think the problem is simply that my system is not set up for SCons to FIND fltk-config (which does exist on my system). I will try making this available and see what happens. 

Where should the various config scripts go?

Regards,
Mike
