Sam,

Thanks for your information, I tried it earlier and it worked.  Went ahead and 
found that if I had given the source file and the output file as the first 2 
arguments for gcc, I wouldn't have the problem:

$ gcc SDL_wave4.c -o SDL_wave4 -I/local/include/SDL -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -
Dmain=SDL_main -lmingw32 -L/local/lib -lSDLmain -lSDL -mwindows

I'm pretty new to gcc ... and the "gcc --help" indicated "gcc <options> 
files", which made me presume that all input files should be given as last 
argument.  (But why this doesn't happen in my Linux box? Hmmm ....)

Thanks again!
