This will never work, since the default behavior of gcc is to create
an
executable, but there is no "main" function in proj_api.c and the
errors
are due to missing link path/libs info (besides WinMain).

Yes. The -I../proj/proj-4.4.8/src must not be correct.

I'd guess you're not specifying the link path for libproj nor the link
flag
-lproj.  The compilation and linking phases are separate and have
separate
arguments (-L<PATH_TO_LIB> -l<library_name>)

Creating

This should be okay.  We're having dllwrap create the exports file.

Not useful.  Presumably proj_api.dll failed to build.  Double check
the
include path...
