Have you verified that whatever you're linking has a main() function?

If it does, please post some more useful information about what you're doing,
such as the command-line used for the link, a more exact description of what
you expect it to do, etc.

An undefined reference to _WinMain@16 usually means that there is no main()
function when trying to link an executable..
