There's clearly a lot more to the error messages than you've excerpted here. But I will guess that you are trying to build an application that defines a WinMain entry point - that is, a "Windowing" application - but you've specified that it is a QuickWin application or have pulled in the QuickWin library. These two aren't compatible.

QuickWin works only for "traditional" Fortran programs with a Fortran main program. You can't mix it with a WinMain entry point.
