I don't agree with the choice 'M$_' as a prefix only because it's unusual, but the upstream author of newlib for wince made this choice. I would have preferred '_winsock_'. The dollar sign is a legal character in C identifiers. Always try the simplest solution first, which in this case is, does it just work? $ echo 'int dollar$sign;' > dollar-sign.c $ gcc -c dollar-sign.c $ nm dollar-sign.o 00000004 C dollar$sign > Do I just rename WinMain, or do I need to call my existing WinMain from > a new main after coercing its parameters?

This toolchain is really meant to be a POSIX development toolchain for the Pocket PC, and not a Microsoft API development toolchain for the Pocket PC. As such, wacky systems like WinMain are not supported. If all you need is the command line string, use GetCommandLineW. If you like, main can call WinMain with the result of GetCommandLineW as an argument. > > Sounds like you're getting much closer! Cheers, > > Yeah, it feels very close.
