I am running Visual C++ 6.0, I copied the tutorial code exactly but I keep on getting a error. It looks like this: LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main Debug/Lesson1.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals i have all 3 OpenGL files linked, i would appreciate any help

this was from another post...thought it might help......

----------------------------------------------------------

ok so im writing a bunch of code and i compile it fun it runs fine everything...then the next day i try to open up my project file and the source file...ok it opens i compile it and guess what i get...22 errors...ok easy to fix...i go to the project settings and add the gl files...ok then i get 2 errors and here they are, please help me out:

LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main
Debug/lesson2.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

Did you move anything around since the last time you''ve compiled it?

those are like the errors of death.. I sure hate them. Here''s how I resolve them however idiotic it is.. repaste all my code if it isn''t too large into NeHe''s base code for a window. It usually works. Remember to open the workspace each time too I know with VC++ if you just open the cpp file the program yells at you

My fellow Americans I have just signed legislation that outlaws Russia forever. Bombing will commence in five minutes.

Looks like something is corrupting source-code or compiler/linker cache files then, isn''t it?

You are trying to compile as a win32 console application.

as Xiachunyi said, are you trying to compile it as awin32 console application, if so this IS your problem.

You have to compile it as a Win32 Application, and #include <windows.h>

if you try to compile as a Win32 console application, it will look for a main(); function, but if you compile as a Win32 application, it will look for WinMain or something (i''m not too sure, as i dont use Win32 API...)

anyway, i hope this helps.
