What is *exactly* the warning message?

                                     ^^^^^^^

Are you trying build a DLL? This sound weird :-)

Obviously, you don't define a 'main' function in your source. After
consulting
my crystal ball, I guess that are you trying to build a library, and for
this reason
you don't need a main function.  Well, if I'm correct, you need type at
command
line

gcc -o libdsapi.a dsapi3.o

The prefix 'lib' and the extension 'a' are both required.

Of course, whitout more info, we can't give you a more helpful advice.
