Then you must not have the platform SDK. You should have a directory like 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows XP SP2'. There should be an 'include' subdirectory there, and that's where your windows.h file should be.

It's probably that that was missing. I've hesitated much before
isntalling that as it is a big piece to download. I guess I can't avoid it.

It perfectly works now, thanks a lot.

Oh well, no, I forget something. I had to double quote the value of
srcdir in the Makefile generated or cl messes with the spaces.
