The main() function is located in the file "instrument.tab.c". Probably
you missed this file because of file name mangling when copying between
Linux and Windows. You also need the file "lex.yy.c". Maybe you should
rename them to something without two dots.

That is right, it should not be included. It is used in the simulations
generated by mcstas, not in mcstas itself.

I hope this helps,
