i need help
Author
whenever i make a program and execute it (its bugless of course)
i always get this error in any project when i run it:
LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main
Debug/dfdfsdfsfs.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.
even if its just a program that outputs hello world.
RAWRR!!! SOME ONE help me...this is driving my nuts...
-thanks
Make sure you typed "main" correctly, meaning the ''m'' is not capitalized, if you are doing this in a console app. If its a windows app make sure you type winmain with all smallcase. AFAIK thats the problem your having.
try this source:
if you want, you can post the source, and I can try to compile it on my machine.

Double check that you did exactly as twix said. As far as I can tell you either don''t have a main or you didn''t set up your project properly.

Make sure the extension of the file is cpp and not h, or hpp or something like that. Otherwise your file most-likely will not even be compiled (hence the link error with main).
EDIT: Also, make sure you have the cpp file as a part of the project and not just opened in your IDE.

Are you building the app as a release or debug version?
Try debug, I think.
What API are you using?
