Unresolved External Error!!!!

[JafferAB]

Righty, first here is the error

Linking...
LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main
Debug/The Window!.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

This is only occuring when i try ot make an EXE and NOT when I compile it. It is compiling fine, but not making an EXE.

If i delete the directory DEBUG then it only gives me this error

Linking...
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file ".\Debug\The Window!.obj"
Error executing link.exe.

but still doesnt actually compile it for one reason or another.

I have checked that i have all the INCLUDES in the INCLUDE directory, and they are all there.

Thanks for any help.

First off, do you have a Win32 Application project, or Win32 Console Application? The first has WinMain as the entry point, and the second has main.

To change it over, go to the Linker Settings section of Project Settings.

You need to find a bit at the bottom (in the textbox) that has a /subsystem:console, and change it to /subsystem:windows



Then do a Rebuild All.

nope, gives me 25 errors now!!!!

and example of which is

The Window!.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glClearColor@16
The Window!.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glShadeModel@4
The Window!.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glRasterPos2f@8
The Window!.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__glColor3f@12

Add opengl32.lib to your linker settings.

It would have said that anyway

for some reason when i changed the subsystem it deleted all...

OpenGL32.lib GLu32.lib GLaux.lib

of the .lib files i had added. Thanks for bringing it to my attention
