I know this error (unknown reference to WinMain). You get it when you try to compile
a module. A module has no "main" function (like a program has). You need to compile
it with option -c. Like:

gcc -c lstchar.o -o lstchar

Maybe you can add the extra option in the Makefile? I must say, this kind of error
occurs only in poorly made distributions, so this will be a difficult build...

HTH,
