Looks like a redux of  FS#38276

To some extent.

$ fltk-config --libs
/usr/lib/libfltk.so

but as far as i checked the package code there is a .patch doing that.
witch looks a bit odd.. as it changes things in the scripts string output.
https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/fltk-config-dynlibs.patch?h=packages/fltk

Whereas the $LDSTATIC variable used to compile stuff

$CXX $ARCHFLAGS $includes $CXXFLAGS $debug -o "$prog" "$compile" $LDSTATIC || exit 1

Still is built like:
LDSTATIC="$libdir/libfltk.a $LDLIBS"

If i understand the workings of the code correctly

OK. some more info here.

g++ `fltk-config --cxxflags` main.cpp `fltk-config --ldflags` -o test

works as a solution to build stuff. Allas programs like codeblocks rely by default on fltk-config --ldstaticflags to work as it should
So there is that option to patch fltk-config someway to omit static stuff when --compile is used. But better yet static linking should be possible.
