fl_system() and fl_execvp() assume that there is not _wsystem() or _wexecvp() available if the compile target defines __MINGW32__, falling back to their ASCII variant. mingw-w64 supports both function and defines __MINGW32__ and __MINGW64__. Attached is my proposed patch to use the UTF-16 version of both functions when compiling for mingw-w64. An additional way to solve this issue could be to try linking to the dll providing these functions in case of only __MINGW32__ being defined. For upstream support, the attached patch should be sufficient.

Thanks for the report of this long-standing issue.

The (1.3) code has changed significantly in 1.4.x development and the fix is using a different approach but works (supposedly) with all supported Windows versions and compilers.

Closed w/resolution.
