You'd have to download the startup code and hack it.
That is not the solution to your problem, though.

You get this message when you define neither main()
nor WinMain(). You don't have to worry about it if you
define one of those functions, once only.

There can be only one main(). Execution has to begin
at exactly one point.

Pick the one main() you really want to call at startup.
Rename the others and have the real main() call them.

Maybe the startup code needs to initialize streams.
