[GRASS-windows] Compiling grass7 on msys/mingw?

[Colin Nielsen]

Finally fixed the xdr library problem by updating all dependencies and
trying again. Now configure completes fine but I get many errors on
make, several relating to a libmingw32.a WinMain at 16 error.

Configured with:
./configure  --prefix=/usr/local --with-includes=/usr/local/include
--with-libs=/usr/local/lib --disable-x11 --without-x --with-cxx
--enable-shared --enable-largefile --with-opengl=windows --with-fftw
--with-freetype --with-proj-share=/usr/local/share/proj
--with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config --with-tcltk
--with-tcltk-includes=/usr/local/tcl-tk/include
--with-tcltk-libs=/usr/local/tcl-tk/bin --with-sqlite
--with-sqlite-includes=/usr/local/sqlite/include
--with-sqlite-libs=/usr/local/sqlite/lib --with-postgres
--with-postgres-includes=/usr/local/pgsql/include
--with-postgres-libs=/usr/local/pgsql/lib --without-cairo

Errors in:
r.mapcalc
r.univar
raster3d/base
v.voronoi

Error message for above:
/mingw/lib/libmingw32.a(main.o):main.c:(.text+0x104): undefined
reference to `WinMain at 16'


Errors also in all of the /scripts/:
if [ "/usr/local/src/grass_trunk/dist.i686-pc-mingw32/scripts/db.dropcol"
!= "" ] ; then GISRC=/usr/local/src/grass_trunk/dist.i686-pc-mingw32/demolocation/.grassrc70

If it's looking for the grass.py in the pythonpath, there is one there...

Thanks, I'd appreciate any help with this...
