undefined reference to `WinMain' : When using Cygwin, SDL2 and Netbeans

Question

any help here would be appreciated. Ive really racked my brains at this, sooo.

I have installed cygwin, and Netbeans and have been successfully deving, compiling and run

Answer 1

For a library that I just built with Cygwin, I added the following compiler flags:

 -shared -Wl,--out-implib,lib$(LIB_NAME).dll.a

This allowed me to build my library without the dreaded, "missing WinMain," error message.
