Thanks to everyone who responded. I should now have enough options to make progress.
The Windows tools have been updated since the last time i tried, so I'll have another go. I noticed the 2.6.0/2.7.1 discrepancy, updated everything, and found it was still there. Since the problem I'm having seems pretty basic (missing .h files), I thought that first getting the headers and then seeing if the discrepancy matters would be a reasonable approach. Maybe not, though. Anyway, once more, thanks to everyone who responded.
