Paul,

Get mingw and Msys, and do this from the command line:

This is a bit dated (it calls out fltk-1.1.7!) but I have used this
exact process with current fltk-1.1 on WinVista and Win7 with no issues
whatsoever.

If this process fails for you, I'd have to guess that something is
installed wrong!

This must be some problem with your Windows header files, at a guess, as
that's not a fltk type, it's a WIN32 API type, so if it is not found,
your Windows headers must be munged.

Specifically, an HIMC is a "handle to an input context" i.e. it's a
handle to an OS provided object that you can use for inputting text in
languages other than the one your keyboard was created for (e.g. to
input Japanese on a US keyboard, for example.)

So... That's pretty fundamental, and if it's not there, well, there must
be something wrong with your setup...
