I'm not overly familiar with VC++ but I can offer some advice. config.h is used to compile FLTK, but is not required by user apps. Make sure that your compiler search path includes the folder holding FL, but not FL itself. Your source files should have includes in the form #include <FL/Fl.H> this keeps the monsters away, acting as a namespace of sorts. If this isn't your problem perhaps you can post a small "hello world" type app and the error logs.
