LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main
Debug/Starfield.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.
Starfield.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)
I get that message many times when I compile my progra in Visual C++ 6. Why?
Because you set your project to be a console application (for with main() is the entry point) instead of a windows application (for which WinMain() is the entry point).

Yep, remember when you create a new project select Win32 application. Not win32 MFC application though.
The solution has already been posted. Start a new project, making sure you select "Win32 Application" (NOT Win32 Console Application - they are right next to each other so it is easy to click the wrong one by mistake) and add your files to the project.

I know, but many times I select Win32 Application the result is like what I said. My friend sometimes gets the same!
Give me another solution!
Give me another solution!
Or must you learn how to use it?
Sorry but if it''s looking for a main, then you specified your project to be a console application.
I doubt VS could mess up with its projects definition to the point of mixing win32 console and plain win32...
"Do it with style or don''t bother doing it."
