error compiling stl samples with g++ in cygwin

I downloaded sample codes from http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~musser/stl-book/source/src.zip
and tried to compile them.

I started my cygwin on xp, renamed Makefile.unix to Makefile and typed
"make". After several successful compilation, it spat out following
error :

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../libcygwin.a(lib cmain.o):
(.text+0xab): undefined reference to `_WinMain@16'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [ex04-01] ¿À·ù 1

There's no WinMain in the code. Strangely, when I retried "make",
compile is succuessful for the file but again after several succuess,
make complain with the same error message with another source code.

What can cause the problem?

TIA.

Wrong group. Try gnu.g++.help.

F/U set.

Hello I have some c++ code, which has been happily developped in the linux/unix world. Everything has always been compiled with different compiler (intel, KAI, g++...) and gnu makefiles For some obscure reasons, I have to make all this work in Windows, where I have very little experience. I've installed cygwin and everything is going well using the provided g++ compiler.

Hello there :) I have been using Visual Studio on a program which I have just completed, however I need to have it compiling using a unix based compiler, when I try in cygwin, I get the following error: undefined reference to `_WinMain@16' I have tried searching for a workaround, although I am not a programming guru, and I find it difficult to comprehend the discussions on this topic :) Any help is appreciated.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
