while starting to use Code::Blocks and FLTK with the mingw compiler, i've noticed there's no library for shell32.dll functions.
Since i've always used MSVC and BCB i have no clue what to do now.

I am writing my own .h and .cxx file to call the Shell_NotifyIconA and Shell_NotifyIconW functions which reside in the shellapi.

#define _NOTIFYICON_H

#if (_WIN32_IE < 0x0500)

typedef struct _TRAYICONDATAW {
	DWORD    cbSize;

	UINT     uID;
	UINT     uFlags;
	UINT     uCallbackMessage;
	HICON    hIcon;

} TRAYICONDATA, TRAYICONDATAW, *PTRAYICONDATAW;


// Function pointer declarations
typedef BOOL (WINAPI *pfShell_NotifyIcon)(DWORD dwMessage, PTRAYICONDATAW lpData);

extern pfShell_NotifyIcon __Shell_NotifyIcon;

} /* extern "C" */

#endif /* _NOTIFYICON_H */

is the following correct?

typedef BOOL (WINAPI *pfShell_NotifyIcon)(DWORD dwMessage, PTRAYICONDATAW lpData);

Since MSDN defines it as

WINSHELLAPI BOOL WINAPI Shell_NotifyIconW(DWORD dwMessage, PTRAYICONDATAW lpData);

And now should i build a .lib for shell32.dll and include it somehow?
