Hi, I had the same problem. I'm using NT 4.0. At home where I have Win95 every
thing works just fine.
The solution isn't that elegant but it works !
The object file of vstartup.o must be the first one to be linked so in each
makefile you have to make a litlle change.
After specifing the output file (and may some other flags like debug info etc)
you have to put this string: '/V/obj/gnuwin32/vstartup.o' and then continue with
all your object files, lib directory specifiers and the libraries.
It should look like this:
'g++ -o /V/bin/gnuwin32/vgen /V/obj/gnuwin32/vstartup.o /V/obj/gnuwin32/vgapp.o
/V/obj/gnuwin32/vgcmdw.o
/V/obj/gnuwin32/vgcode.o /V/obj/gnuwin32/vgmdlg.o /V/obj/gnuwin32/vgdlmdlg.o
/V/obj/gnuwin32/vgcnv.o
/V/obj/gnuwin32/vgrc.o -L/V/lib/gnuwin32 -lV -lcomctl32 -mwindows'
Hope this work for you also.
Good luck

PS.
V is a good choice :-)
If you would like to get rid of the warning in linking:
/CYGWIN/H-I586~1/i586-cygwin32/bin/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol
_WinMainCRTStartup; defaulting to 00401000
use this option in linking command line '-e _mainCRTStartup'.
