Author Unable to build under WinNT (MinGW)

Hi!

I've been (unsuccessfully) trying to compile Tk-804.027 with Perl-5.8.6 under Windows (NT) with MinGW (3.2.3) for some time now, but I don't seem to be getting anywhere... (I've even tried with other compilers...) I'm quite prepared to admit that I'm doing it wrong but... Has anyone succeeded in doing that lately?

First, I find it a bit... unsettling that some headers are not found (see output): this I could easily fix by copying them manually, but...

Then it crashes when trying to build Tk.dll complaining that some routines are not found (again, see output: "InitCommonControlsEx", "ImmGetContext", "ImmGetCompositionStringW", "ImmReleaseContext", "ImmGetCompositionStringA", "ImmGetContext", "ImmSetCompositionWindow"): these seem to me to be some Microsoft routines, which made me think that I could be missing some API stuff in MinGW, so I tried to update that, but I didn't get very far with that either... Well, so I'm more or less lost...

I would be very grateful if someone could give me some hint.

Cheers!

Philippe
