[XviD-devel] Linked errors cross-compiling for x64 Windows on x64 Linux

[Michael Militzer]

Hi,

I don't know which app you are trying to link but it seems that the linker
expects the entry point WinMain() and that's not defined in your app.

Afaik, windows command line programs have main() and GUI programs WinMain()
as default entry points. So it seems you are trying to compile as a windowed
app.

To solve the problem either define a WinMain() for your program or if you
rather want a command line app, tell gcc not to create a windowed app (iirc,
that means not using the -mwindows option).

Regards,
Michael
