Undefined reference to WinMain in Cygwin when building mlt

Question

I tried to compile mlt in cygwin64.

And I have linker error: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/5.4.0/../../../../lib/libcygwin.a(libcmain.o): In function main': /usr/src/debug/cygwin-2.7.0-1/winsup/cygwin/lib/libcmain.c:37: undefined reference toWinMain' /usr/src/debug/cygwin-2.7.0-1/winsup/cygwin/lib/libcmain.c:37:(.text.startup+0x7f): relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined symbol `WinMain' I read this answer and tried compile flag -c but hasn't helped.

`WinMain` is for windows program. It seems mlt configure is incorrectly setting for windows program and not Unix like. — matzeri, Apr 17 '17 at 10:29
This is the configure command line: ./configure --target-os=WIN32 --prefix=../mlt — Тарик Ялауи, Apr 17 '17 at 13:46
If I use --target-os=MinGW, it works, but I need the Cygwin properties... — Тарик Ялауи, Apr 17 '17 at 13:54
to make a cygwin version you need to modify the configure and likely also the code. Look inside configure and you will notice that is not using automake/autoconf and it does not include cygwin as platform — matzeri, Apr 17 '17 at 19:10

I have compiled mlt in cygwin with configure option --target-os=MinGW, but I have modified source code a little.
