I have compiled lot of sources on linux systems and got now errors here but
on cygwin on my windows 7 32bit things not like to work for me.
What I ever I have done for it, like:
Cd /cygdrive/k/huskysrc/smapi
Or copied it to /src/src/huskysrc
Cd /usr/src/huskysrc/smapi
Make 
Make install
And it ends by error for ld not found some files and others.
Output from cygwin terminal by the error:
gcc   1stchar.o   -o 1stchar
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.7.3/../../../libcygwin.a(libcmain.o): I
funktionen "main":
/usr/src/debug/cygwin-1.7.25-1/winsup/cygwin/lib/libcmain.c:39: undefined
reference to `WinMain@16'
collect2: fejl: ld returnerede afslutningskoden 1
<builtin>: recipe for target '1stchar' failed
make: *** [1stchar] Error 1

And it look like error in some cygwin files.

Gert Andersen
