I''m trying to make a Ddraw game. However, no matter how many libraries I link, i still get the following errors: "LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main Debug/Main.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals" Does anyone know a remedy for this? I''m using MSVC++ 6.0, Enterprise Edition.

go to google
type ''unresolved external symbol _main''
click on first result

i had this problem where it said the same except it said winmain_ instead of main_
just delete all project files except the source then create a new projet and add the source. And that should fix it.

I''m willing to bet you''re doing a Win32 Console application instead of a Win32 Application project. What I want to know is how you ended up with Enterprise Edition when you''re still so early in the learning process...

Thats what somone said when i had my problem with it but slightly opsit. i was using a console application and i used main but for some reason it said unresolved external symbol _WinMain so i dont belive that it is that

You can get the enterprize edition fairly cheaply now that .net has been released.

Show us how to re-create this error.

I get that error on occasion. Try "rebuild all."
