Okay, "__declspec(dllimport)" and "__imp_" show that you do in fact try
to link with the dll version (FL_DLL is defined). Okay.

No, the linker doesn't need nor does it look for the .dll file.
The linker needs the .lib file! IIRC I explained this already.
You need the .dll files when you want to run the executable.

(1) check whether you defined "WIN32" (see above)
(2) check whether you defined the dependencies correctly:
(2a) add "fltkdll.lib" in
Properties/Linker/Input/Additional Dependencies
right before comctl32.lib
(there should not be other fltk*.lib files in this line)
(2b) add "<path-to-fltk>/test" in
Properties/Linker/General/Additional Library Directories
(replace or remove "<path-to-fltk>/lib" if it is there).
Please report *everything* you do so that I can help you better.
And, again, please remove all fltkdll.dll files you copied until
you got the build working. Then, when you are ready to run the
program, try it first w/o copying the fltkdll.dll file. This
ought to issue an error message. Then copy only *one* fltkdll.dll
file into the *same* directory where you built your test .exe file.
Start it again: it should work.
Albrecht
