Hi Larry,
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately -mno-cygwin seems to be a bit
of a step child, the MinGW group considers it a Cygwin topic, and the
Cygwin group considers it a MinGW topic.

I did spend a fair bit of time using google, before posting to the group,
unfortunately I was unable to find an answer, other than realising that I
would need to change the entry point. I have tried various entry points:
-e _wWinMainCRTStartup
-e wWinMainCRTStartup
-e WinMainCRTStartup
etc.
All of these give the error :  "cannot find entry symbol .." as well
as the undefined reference to `_WinMain AT 16' error.
Using
-e _WinMainCRTStartup
I don't get the "cannot find entry symbol ...", but still get the undefined
reference to _WinMain AT 16.
I have pretty much exhausted all the search terms I can think of in google,
so any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Clive
