A bug slipped into the release, unit castleglwindowsfonts.pas didn't 
compile. You can either:

1. Comment out the line

   P.Targets.AddUnit('castleglwindowsfonts.pas');

inside fpmake.pp. This unit is not used by anything else, so everything 
will still compile and work Ok.

2. Or use latest engine 4.0.1 release, where this was corrected :) 
Download link is from the usual page 
http://castle-engine.sourceforge.net/engine.php .

Background: The CastleGLWindowsFonts unit is a little obscure, it was 
not used by any example program, it's not part of Lazarus packages and 
it's Windows-specific --- that is why this bug went unnoticed, I didn't 
test fpmake compilation on Windows. In 4.0.1 this is fixed, and the unit 
is also tested by one example program, so this bug will not happen again :)
