No. If WinMain exists, it'll be used, even in the presence of main().

I don't think spec files for .exe are supported right now (sorry Ivan).

I guess you can't share the whole app. Could you then provide us with a
simple Makefile/.c file exhibiting the same problem?

I don't see any difference between using main() and WinMain() for a
"Hello, world!"-type app, on Linux.

The .o in which main() is compiled is on the final linking list, right?

Try modifying your Makefile so you pass -save-temps to winegcc while
building the final .so, that way it won't erase temp files (mainly
.spec.c, and .spec.i, .spec.s, .spec.o). Also play with -v (verbosity
level, can be additive).
