no, sorry.

yes the signature of the main is in this example:
int main(int argc, char* argv[])

No i don't use the WinMain() and I call the compiler / linker with -mconsole
but on 3 examples the error with the WinMain is shown, on other examples
everything works fine, so I don't understand it

Thanks
