Hello Suresh,

In your CMakeLists file, you need to insert the following cmake commands

1) Find the FLTK package

FIND_PACKAGE(FLTK)

2) If FLTK package is found, you need to include the directory

INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${FLTK_INCLUDE_DIR})

3) Similarly for VTK, add the following statements

FIND_PACKAGE(VTK)

If(VTK_FOUND)
   INCLUDE(${VTK_USE_FILE})
ENDIF(VTK_FOUND)

Then you have to link the the relevant directories and libraries to your 
application.
There are several applications using Fltk and VTK in  
InsightApplications (ThresholdSegmentationLevelSetFltkGui, ImageViewer, 
FltkImageViewer etc...).  Talke a look at these applications. They will 
be a good starting point.
