Hello, im new to D3D programming in c++ and when making my first directX program (the second one from the orginal tutorials) I encountered a serious number of errors, but now I think im finnaly trough, I cant solve these two guys:
Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup MSVCRTD.lib
Error 2 fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals C:\Documents and Settings\World of Warcraft\Mijn documenten\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\tut22\Debug\tut22.exe 1
I'm using MVS 2005. and already included these libs:
d3dx9.lib
d3dxof.lib
dxguid.lib
DxErr9.lib
d3d9.lib
thanks, Marcella
mainCRT linker errors usually pertain to a problem with (or absence of) your main() function, or in windows' case, WINMAIN()

Indeed, in this case the main() function is missing. But you probably don't want to write it, so you need to got to Project Menu->tut22 Properties->Configuration Properties->Linker->System->SubSystem and set it to Windows.

In the propeties of your project, look in Linker->System->SubSystem. If this is set to 'Windows' you need to have a WinMain function that looks like this:
INT WINAPI WinMain( HINSTANCE hInst, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, INT )
If this is set to 'Console' you need a traditional Main function that looks like this:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
If you have them the wrong way round (in your case possible a project that is set to console with no main function, only a WinMain). You will get link errors.
INT WINAPI WinMain( HINSTANCE hInst, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, INT )
