Whooo Hooo, that worked!  Thanks Tor (yet again I think). :)

I was nearly tearing my hair out. :(

For future reference of anyone else that uses the Eclipse IDE with CDT
extensions, you need to add "-mwindows" to the linker flags:

  Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Tool Settings -> GCC C Linker
- -> Miscellaneous -> Linker flags

(Not as hard to find as that sounds)

Excellent, now I can continue...

Regards and best wishes,
