Problems with first steps using a MinGW based linux --> windowscross compiler

[David Philippi <lists at torangan dot de>]

I've just tried for the first time to use a cross compiler without too
much success yet. I tried the following commands:

cross-configure.sh CC=/usr/local/cross-tools/bin/i386-mingw32msvc-gcc
CXX=/usr/local/cross-tools/bin/i386-mingw32msvc-c++
--prefix=/usr/local/mingw

cross-make.sh CC=/usr/local/cross-tools/bin/i386-mingw32msvc-gcc
CXX=/usr/local/cross-tools/bin/i386-mingw32msvc-c++

and got:

if test "x`head -1 .libs/libHermes.exp`" = xEXPORTS; then cp
.libs/libHermes.exp .libs/libHermes-1.dll-def; else echo EXPORTS >
.libs/libHermes-1.dll-def; _lt_hint=1; cat .libs/libHermes.exp | while
read symbol; do set dummy $symbol; case $# in 2) echo " $2 @ $_lt_hint ;
" >> .libs/libHermes-1.dll-def;; *) echo " $2 @ $_lt_hint $3 ; " >>
.libs/libHermes-1.dll-def;; esac; _lt_hint=`expr 1 + $_lt_hint`; done;
fi
 /usr/local/cross-tools/bin/i386-mingw32msvc-gcc
-Wl,--base-file,.libs/libHermes-1.dll-base -Wl,-e,_DllMainCRTStartup@12
-o .libs/libHermes-1.dll .libs/libHermes.la-40.o
/usr/local/cross-tools/lib/gcc-lib/i386-mingw32msvc/2.95.3-6/../../../../i386-mingw32msvc/bin/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _DllMainCRTStartup@12; defaulting to 00401000
/usr/local/cross-tools/lib/gcc-lib/i386-mingw32msvc/2.95.3-6/../../../../i386-mingw32msvc/lib/libmingw32.a(main.o)(.text+0x8d):main.c: undefined reference to `WinMain@16'

What do I need to add to the linking stage to get the symbol? Patching
the Makefile or configure script isn't unusual for me anyway. In fact, I
had to patch configure to get a non working check about endianess out of
the way (ok, really hard to check for a cross compile *g*).

Bye David
