Ok.  After my earlier rant, I cleaned up your source, removing the
above (corrupt) HTML entities, and removing a few additional spaces,
which had crept in where they shouldn't.  Here's your definition of
WinMain:

int WINAPI WinMain (HANDLE hInstance, HANDLE hPrevInstance,
                    LPSTR lpszCmdLine, int nCmdShow)

Contrast that with the example on our web page:
(c.f. http://www.mingw.org/docs.shtml)

int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                    PSTR lpszCmdLine, int nCmdShow)

Changing your definition to the correct one gets rid of your error;
your example builds successfully for me, although it doesn't actually
seem to do anything, when I try to execute it.

Regards,
Keith.
