plugin-C

I am trying to use a few C library dll and C++ dll from squeak I have the source of the dlls and i am willing to edit the C and C++ code.
I still don't fully understand the difference between FFI , external plugins.and build in plugins. from what i understood so far i can't use the dll with OSProcess right ?
yetI could not find sample code "hello word" kind for these option.
I am trying to get a handle on sqWin32FFI.c . for now .
I tried compiling the VC 6 project \platforms\win32\misc\squeqk.dsp I found in the source SqueakVM-Win32-3.10.6-src.zip. with visual studio C++ Express Edition.
i got bunch of
error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windows.h': is anyone able to compile squeak with vusual studio.

but the source compiles with the gnutools .

Thanks,
Kemal

You need to download and install Wndows Platform SDK from Microsoft dev site. Unfortunately it is a bit of a pain to download it but after that it works. Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK worked for me. It is big (about 400M).
