Linking problem...
Author
I have a quickie question: I decided to continue with my c++ learning now that school is back and what not, so I decided to refresh myself by reading an old tutorial. Well, within 30 seconds of programming, I have a problem which I cannot fix, grr. Here is the code:
-----------------------------
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
cout << "testing";
return 0;
}
------------------------------
And this is what i get:
------------------------------
Compiling...
prac.cpp
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\Prac\Prac.cpp(7) : warning C4508: ''main'' : function should return a value; ''void'' return type assumed
Linking...
LIBCD.lib(wincrt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16
Debug/Record.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.
Record.exe - 2 error(s), 1 warning(s)
-----------------------------
Any help would be nice!
Try creating your project as a Console application, and then just copy the code into it. Don''t forget to include
" Do we need us? "
" Do we need us? "
That''s not it. The code is correct, you need to set up your compiler to compile a "console program" or something like that. Otherwise it will try to find a function called WinMain instead of main.

You forgot the .h in <iostream.h>

Okay kiddo, try this. Go to Project->Settings->Link->Project Options (editbox at the bottom)-> change "/subsystem:windows" to "/subsystem:console".
Fair warning: I will never answer this question again in any sort of way remotely mistakable for patient or kind.

Thanks, but now I have another question, why won''t this work:
--------
cout << "Just kidding"
--------
Hehe, I said that I just started again...I like obscenities anyway!
Thanks for the help, though.
