I have tested this. The bad news is:
The denemo-console.exe and denemo.exe are both now running without a
terminal (they are identical files), while lilypond continues to run in
a terminal.
From this it would seem that the -mwindows flag you have been altering
is applying to the make of denemo-console.exe not lilypond.exe or
lilypond-windows.exe.
The good news, however is:
I executed c:\program files\denemo\usr\bin\lilypond.exe from a command
line under windows and it ran without throwing up a terminal.
I tried \denemo\usr\bin\lilypond-windows.exe but this didn't appear to
do anything.
Then I put this whole path
c:\denemo\usr\bin\lilypond-windows.exe
into the Edit->Preferences->Externals as the Path to LilyPond and (for
the first time ever) denemo launched lilypond without a
terminal.
Finally I tried just lilypond-windows.exe without the path, it launched
a terminal briefly each time lilypond ran, but only briefly - I suspect
this was a terminal to launch lilypond which then ran without one. (ie a
terminal for a .bat file or something like that).
I will try to put the full path to lilypond-windows.exe into the
executable for G_OS_WIN32 today, and we should have the lilypond launch
thing conquered.
I have no progress to report on the MIDI-in thing though - there is
still no portmidi option, and because denemo-console.exe is now not
running in a terminal I see no messages. Just revert the change to the
-mwindows flag you made to fix this.

Yes its from the 26th. I compiled it

??? have we got our wires crossed I wonder. We need the -mwindows flag
present in the LilyPond build to avoid it popping up a terminal to run
in. Examples I see on the net have it in the linker flags, but I think
you can put it on the compile line and it gets passed through to the
linker.
Is the new version the one dated 26 Dec 2012?

and turned off the debug stuff. I am still investigating this portmidi
thing. When I launched it in wine it said it was using
portmidi
backend. I am not sure if I believe it.

I tried looking for the flag that the compiler needs to tell it to run
without popping up a terminal but I couldn't find it in my notes (it
would be on an old windows partition that I don't have access to,
somewhere). (I was forgetting that this LilyPond terminal is the other
showstopper we have for a release.)
I have found the flag that turns off the popup terminal for windows
binaries:

Add the -mwindows flag

The lack of anything in the preferences under MIDI backend points to the
portmidi code not being linked in I guess?
