Linker Error
« on: September 25, 2010, 04:54:27 pm »
I'm getting this error when trying to compile the code below:

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16
Code: [Select]

#include <iostream>
#include <SFML/System.hpp>

int main()
{
    sf::Clock Clock;
    while (Clock.GetElapsedTime() < 5.f)
    {
        std::cout << Clock.GetElapsedTime() << std::endl;
        sf::Sleep(0.5f);
    }

    return 0;
}


The project is on Release, and the additional dependencies are: sfml-system.lib

There are three possible solutions to this problem:

1) Link with sfml-main.lib.
2) Build the project as a console application instead of a windows application.
3) Rename main() to WinMain().
