From where you downloaded X11R6 tools? From Sergey, mine or some other site?

This is not an Imake error.
This is gcc installation problem.  You have a bad gcc installation.

ALL of this is absolutely not allowed.  Renaming gcc.exe or g++.exe to cpp.exe is NOT
permitted at all.
Of cource you have cpp.exe, if you  have gcc installed properly.

I am not aware of an IMAKE.EXE from MKS NT tools.  Correct me,  as far as I know MKS (aka DataFocus) does not provide X11 stuff with NT tools, unless you license Nutcraker from them.

You need to read a good book on GNU tools.  I think http://www.delorie.com
DJ Delorie has some very good references on books which might help you.

I hope this help
