Paul, Get mingw and Msys, and do this from the command line:
http://www.fltk.org/articles.php?L598 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! > Back again.. > > I have built the libraries except for fltk ! > it gives me the error 'HIMC' not declared. > other errors follow but that seems to be the chief culprit, it's in > the aimm.h file. > I googled around but no direct help although it seems to be reported. 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...
