Author Topic: Two linker errors (Doing first tutorial) (Read 2011 times)

Well I am starting SFML with Visual Studio 2008.

I set up the library and include paths. I also included the sfml-system-d.lib in the Additional Dependencies located in the Linker>Input in the projects properties.

I still get these two errors when I try to compile/debug:

Code: [Select]


Error	1	error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup	MSVCRTD.lib

Error	2	fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals	C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\SFML_Testing\Debug\SFML_Testing.exe

Am I still missing something? Need more information or pictures?

Thanks in advance. (Sorry if there were plenty of other threads like this, I didn't find the solution in them)

Hi

Actually there's only 1 error, the second is that there is 1 error

And your error is that you created a Win32 GUI projet, thus with a WinMain entry point, and implemented a main as the entry point. Linking against sfml-main.lib will fix it.

Actually it was a my bad lol.

I have no idea why, but I made it a windows application, not a console. Therefore causing some strange problems...

Well I got it working, thanks for the help though.
