This is not a bug.

You really do need a main or a WinMain in your programme.

If you only want to compile the object file add -c switch.


BTW, that little ODBC database wrapper class requires 
structured exception handling (__try, __finally blocks) 
which are not implemented in mingw.  You could try to 
convert it to use C++ exception handling.
