RE: [fltk.general] Not all of the demo app apps are working, after configuring and making FLTK library (Windows 10, MinGW, gcc/g++) [General Use]

As Albrecht already noted, for a stock build of 1.3.x is should be sufficient to simply type "make", the configure defaults should be fine.

Curious; this hasn't built the fltk libs, implying either that they had been previously built, or something is very wrong with your set up.
If they were previously built with a different toolchain, or with a different configuration, then the build tree needs to be cleaned before you perform another build.

Also, you say the "table app" did not run?

This next message indicates that the build has not succeeded; it has failed to link the Sudoku executable.

I think this implies either that something is seriously wrong with your windres compiler, or the sudoku .rc file has been corrupted or deleted.
Either would be a worry; you need to figure out why that happened, then see if the build works better with things suitably restored.

I'm fairly sure the OP's windres compiler is "broken", it looks like it is invoking some other tool (likely gcc -xc blah...) rather than running windres.

That's all fine.

Your windres compiler is broken, otherwise all seems fine. Fix your windres...

You forgot to type "file", note that "file" is a command, it gets the system to print out what type of content is in the given file.

Viz:

$ file /mingw/bin/windres.exe
/mingw/bin/windres.exe: PE32 executable for MS Windows (console) Intel 80386 32-bit
