Started a README for all Unix packages. The first example is for Ubuntu 10 in the command line. More to follow. Suggestions appreciated.

+ INTRODUCTION
+==============
+
+FLTK currently supports the following development environments on vmost Unix 
+platforms:
+
+    - gcc command line tools
+    - Code::Blocks
+    - ...
+    
+
+ PREREQUISITES
+===============
+
+
+ Ubuntu 10
+-----------
+
+Ubuntu Linux can be downloaded here:
+
+  www.ubuntu.com
+  
+If you have not done so yet, download and install Ubuntu.
+
+Open a shell and install some software:
+
+  sudo apt-get install g++
+  sudo apt-get install gdb
+  sudo apt-get install subversion
+  sudo apt-get install autoconf
+  sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
+  sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev
+  sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev
+  sudo apt-get install libxft-dev
+
+If you are planning to use the Code::Blocks IDE, also install this
+
+  sudo apt-get install codeblocks
+
+I like to use subversion to install the latest FLTK-1.3.release:
+
+  svn co http://svn.easysw.com/public/fltk/fltk/branches/branch-1.3/ fltk-1.3
+  
+To update to the latest version, just go into the fltk-1.3 directory and type
+
+  svn update
+
+FIXME: no FL_SYMBOL font (-*-symbol-*),  font 15 (Zapf-Dingbats)
+
+
+
+ HOW TO BUILD FLTK USING GCC
+=============================
+
+
+ Downloading and Unpacking
+---------------------------
+
+Download FLTK from here:
+
+  http://www.fltk.org/software.php
+
+If you are familiar with "subversion" and like to stay current with your 
+version, you will find the subversion access parameters at the bottom of that 
+page. Unpack FLTK into a convinient location. I like to have everything in my 
+dev directory:
+
+  cd
+  mkdir dev
+  cd dev
+  mv ~/Downloads/fltk-1.3.xxxx.tar.gz .
+  tar xvfz fltk-1.3.xxxx.tar.gz
+  cd fltk-1.3.xxxx
+  
+
+ Configuring FLTK
+------------------
+
+Stay in your FLTK source-code directory. Type:
+  
+  autoconf
+
+Now configure your FLTK installation:
+
+  ./configure
+  
+ADVANCED: type "./configure --help" to get a complete list of optional 
+configurations parameters. These should be pretty self-explenatory. Some
+more details can be found in README. 
+:END_ADVANCED
+
+The configuration script will check your machine for the required resources
+which you should have installed as described in the Perequisites chapter. Review
+the Configuration Summary, maybe take some notes.
+
+
+ Building FLTK
+---------------
+
+Now this is easy. Stay in your FLTK source-code directory and type: 
+
+  make
+
+The entire FLTK toolkit including many test programs will be built for you. No 
+warnings should appear. If some do, please let the FLTK developer team know via
+the mailing list or the bug reporting template at www.fltk.org .
+
+Actually, as of Oct 28 2010, quite a bunch of warnigns will show, mostly about 
+suggested parenthesis. Please ignore them until we can fix them.
+
+
+ Testing FLTK
+--------------
+
+After a successful build, you can test FLTK's capabilities:
+
+  test/demo
+
+
+ Installing FLTK
+-----------------
+
+If you did not change any of the configuration settings, FLTK will be installed 
+in "/usr/local/include" and "/usr/local/lib" by typing
+
+  sudo make install
+  
+It is possible to install FLTK without superuser previleges by changing the 
+installation path to a location within the user account by adding the 
+"--prefix=PREFIX" parameters to the "./configure" command.
+
+
+ Creating new Projects
+-----------------------
+
+FLTK provides a neat script named "fltk-config" that can provide all the flags 
+needed to build FLTK applications using the same flags that were used to build
+the library itself. Running "fltk-config" without arguments will print a list
+options. The easiest call to compile an FLTK application from a single source 
+file is: 
+
+  fltk-config --compile myProgram.cxx
+
+"fltk-config" and "fluid" will be installed in "/usr/local/bin/" by default. I
+recommend that you add it to the command search path.
