Hi,
 
I am trying to compile guile-1.5.6 with the latest cygwin environment.
 
After some manual clean up (as removing HAVE_WINSOCK2_H and dealing with
weird .lo files containing "timestamp"), I got an error in libguile/ that
mentions an undefined reference to WinMain@16 <mailto:WinMain@16> . Is it
just a matter of linking with an additional library or is it a deeper
problem ?
 
The flags for configure were:
--without-networking --without-posix --with-gnu-ld
 
make  all-am
