When linking an application, I get a message "undefined reference to _WinMain"
Apparently I'm missing including a library, anyone know which one I need to link with?

Yes, you are missing a library if you get that error. WinMain? You need to do this:
#include <windows.h>
Are you doing windows programming? If so, you really should have posted this in the Windows board. That's what you use WinMain for, I'm sure you know.

yes, I used the #include <windows.h> and still get the error.
yes, I'm doing windows programming with C. Should I still use the
windows forum?
Depending on your compiler, you must manually set the "compile for Win32" mode.
In Bloodshed Dev it's Options->Compiler Options->Linker-
->"Compile For Win32".
Your's may have some similar mechanism.
Yes, what compiler are you using? I think there are some settings for that sort of thing.
Just needed to add the
int WINAPI WINMAIN() API function to the program source.
Still get a warning, but also now I get an exe.
Thanks
