Hello there, and welcome to chicken-users :)

Usually, when an error happens with a C program or a Makefile/setup script
it's good advice to ignore later errors and look at earlier ones; some small
errors can cause a cascade effect of more and more other errors.
In this case, the first error you see is:

sh: fltk-config: command not found

In other words, it looks like you don't have FLTK installed, or the
config program is not in your $PATH.  The setup script continues with
the empty stdout of that script, and so it doesn't set the correct
include paths.  This causes all the "No such file or directory" errors
you see below it; the C compiler doesn't know where to look for these
header files because the setup script never told it.

All the errors below that are due to missing declarations for data
types (which are declared in those header files it can't find).

I hope this will be of some help in solving the issue!

Cheers,
Peter
