Yes, Bruce had sent me a bug report. The problem is that V is putting
WinMain in a library, and the linker is not picking it up since there
is no references to it yet (if it were "main" however, ld would pick it
up). The problem will be trivially solved if we add a new entry point
for windows subsystem, ie., when -mwindows is used.

Until we fix it in the dev tools, here's the trivial fix (there is also
a bug in the CfgCyg.mk or whatever it's called):

Replace the LIBS in the following section:

  #---------------------------------------------------------------------
  # Architecture independent
  #---------------------------------------------------------------------
  INCDIR  =       -I$(HOMEV)/includew -I$(HOMEV)/gnuwin32/include
  LIBDIR  =       -L$(LibDir)
  LIBNAME =       libV
  V1NAME  =       v1
  LIBS    =       -lV -lcomctl32 -mwindows

With

  LIBS    =       -Wl,-u,_WinMain@16 -lV -lcomctl32 -mwindows

And, also add -DWIN32 to compiler flags, which is needed by the OpenGL
headers (or fix the OpenGL headers to use the correct macro -- _WIN32):

from

  #---------------------------------------------------------------------
  # C/C++ compile options
  #---------------------------------------------------------------------
  CFLAGS  += $(INCDIR)
  ifeq ($(DEBUG),no)
  CFLAGS  +=      -O2 -D_WIN32
  endif
  ifeq ($(DEBUG),yes) 
  CFLAGS  +=      -g -D_WIN32
  endif
  ifeq ($(DEVEL),yes)
  CFLAGS  +=      -DDEVEL
  endif

To,

  #---------------------------------------------------------------------
  # C/C++ compile options
  #---------------------------------------------------------------------
  CFLAGS  += $(INCDIR)
  ifeq ($(DEBUG),no)
  CFLAGS  +=      -O2 -D_WIN32 -DWIN32
  endif
  ifeq ($(DEBUG),yes) 
  CFLAGS  +=      -g -D_WIN32 -DWIN32
  endif
  ifeq ($(DEVEL),yes)
  CFLAGS  +=      -DDEVEL
  endif

Mumit
