You give not enough input for answering this question?

This question is easy,
you have compiled something with the "-mwindow" option and not defined a
"WinMain(...)"
funktion.

Background:
For programs with a grafik-window and no console-window the linker is defining 
the main()-function
and this main-function is calling WinMain( .... ). The Microsoft-Compiler works
in this way.
