Make sure the include directory is not the FL directory, but its parent. The reason for this is when you say #include "FL/Fl.h", you're asking the compiler to step into a folder called FL to find Fl.h, which will reside in FL's parent. If you specify FL as an include directory then you need only say #include "Fl.h"

A neat trick you can do for these types of errors is to place your cursor into the file name of the #include statement and press Ctrl+Shift+G. It will fail and display a message box showing what the include paths are.

The solution is to simply add additional include paths to the SDK by right clicking your project and going to Properties>C/C++>General and setting "Additional Include Directories".

Is the fltk library on your computer? You probably did not set up your includes to point to that directory.
