I am having problems getting a working GUI application with cygwin32 :(

here is the test.cpp file i am trying to compile
--------------------------------------------------------
// windows test
#include <windows.h>

int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInst,HINSTANCE hPrevInst,LPSTR
lpCmdLine,int nCmdShow)
{
    MessageBox(NULL,"blah","blah",MB_OK);
    return 0;
}
--------------------------------------------------------

this is the command line i use to build it:
"g++ -o test.exe test.cpp -Wl,--subsystem,windows -lcygwin -lkernel32
-lgdi32 -luser32"

During the build there is the link warning: "cannot find entry symbol
_WinMainCRTStartup; defaulting to 00401000", and the resulting EXE
explodes when run >B)

Why isnt it working? I am stumped here, please help (btw. console apps
compile and execute with no problems, and this same test.cpp compiles
fine with VC++)


cheers
