Error with WinMain
Author
Hi there, im just starting using some examples on the net, and well, first try i make, first errors i get, xD
I use this simple code:
//hellow world in a window
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN //trim down the libraries used
#include <windows.h>
#include <tchar.h>
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR IpCmdLine, int nShowCmd){
MessageBox(NULL,_T("Hello!\n"),_T("Helo Window"),MB_OK);
return 0;
}
And i get this error:
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup
As it says, is an linking error but... well im kind of lost... cause don't know what link error can i have. :S
If some1 could help me i would be very grateful, ^^
It looks like your code is trying to find a main() function, but you've supplied a WinMain. You need to make sure your project settings are for a windows application and not a console app. What compiler/IDE are you using?
What type of project did you create? You have to select a Win32 App to make sure it loads the right dependencies. Also, I know the express version of MSVC++ 2005 did not ship with the windows platform SDK. This is an extra download needed to do windows development. I'm not sure if 2008 comes with it or not.
