[AL] The (hopefully) last mingw32 installation hurdle

[Colin t. M. <mol...@an...>]

Thanks to all who've helped me with the installation of Allegro for mingw32 so far. It's almost working now. However, when I link to liballeg, liballd or liballp, I meet with the following error:

libmingw32.a(main.o)(.text+0x8e): undefined reference to 'WinMain@16'

This is perhaps not surprising, as my make of Allegro didn't go without hitch. There were a few warnings, along the lines of

src/win/wddaccel.c: In function 'enable_acceleration':
src/win/wddaccel.c:465: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
src/win/wddaccel.c:466: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
src/win/wddaccel.c:470: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
src/win/wddaccel.c:471: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
src/win/wddaccel.c:472: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
src/win/wddaccel.c:473: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
src/win/wddaccel.c:474: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
src/win/wddaccel.c:492: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
src/win/wddaccel.c:493: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
src/win/wddaccel.c:496: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type

Could this be anything to do with the fact that I'm using the crtdll package rather than the msvcrt one? If not, has anyone got any other solutions?

This is caused by the new assembler program being stricter in it's syntax
and is nothing to worry about.

dunno, but isn't msvcrt from MSVC?? don't use that.. . . . .
