[Dev-C++] Using Dev-C++ with MSYS - make problems - undefined reference to `WinMain@16' - cannot find entry symbol _DllMainCRTStartup@12

[Joe F. <fl...@so...>]

Help please.

I've installed "Dev-C++ 5.0 beta 9.2 (4.9.9.2) (9.0 MB) with Mingw/GCC 
3.4.2" and MSYS-1.0.10.exe and pointed MSYS' mingw directory pointer to 
c:/Dev-Cpp.

Now, I'm trying to build "rxspencer-alpha3.8.g3.tar.gz" from 
http://arglist.com/regex/rxspencer-alpha3.8.g3.tar.gz, but it fails on 
"make" with:

 gcc -Wl,--base-file,.libs/librxspencer-0.dll-base 
-Wl,-e,_DllMainCRTStartup@12 -o .libs/librxspencer-0.dll  regcomp.lo 
regerror.lo regexec.lo regfree.lo 
c:\dev-cpp\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.1.2\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: 
warning: cannot find entry symbol _DllMainCRTStartup@12; defaulting to 
00401000
c:/dev-cpp/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.1.2/../../../libmingw32.a(main.o):main.c:(.text+0x106): 
undefined reference to `WinMain@16'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [librxspencer.la] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Joe/rxspencer-alpha3.8.g3'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Any ideas how to fix this?

Sorry for the noob question.

Joe

P.S. The entire configure, make MSYS output is below.
