Question: Does ffmsindex need -municode linker option in Win32?

[Biswa96]

I was compiling this project with msys2/mingw-w64 toolchain (link). I have to add the -municode linker flag for ffmsindex, maybe for wmain() function. Otherwise, there is a linking error undefined reference to 'WinMain'. Here is my proposed diff.

But I am not sure if this is required or I am missing something. I can provide any further information, if required.

No idea. The official build configuration on windows is MSVC (and possibly clang-cl nowadays) and everything else is your own problem to solve.
