Here is the github page with my code:

LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup

Subsystem is set to console

Halp

Linked to:
sfml-window-s.lib
sfml-graphics-s.lib
sfml-system-s.lib
sfml-main.lib

Subsystem is set to console

sfml-main.lib

If you link against sfml-main, then you have to set the subsystem to window or if you set it to console you can't link against sfml-main.

Also 'Halp' is not a word...
And using the default font of the forum is better than using your user-defined one.

Okay, now I have changed the subsystem to windows, and I am receiving this error:

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function _WinMain@16

Which compiler are you using? How did you setup your IDE?

[FoamyPop]

Visual Studio 2012

> Multithreaded DLL

[eXpl0it3r]

Well you must have done something wrong along the way...

If you link against sfml-main with subsystem window or don't link with console and define a int main() then everything should be okay. Never had problems before, neither with VS2010 nor VS2012.

Did you follow the official tutorial? Specially did you start with an empty project and not with a Win32 project?

[FoamyPop]

yeah, i made an empty one. should I be using SFML 2? i have been using sfml 1-6

[eXpl0it3r]

yeah, i made an empty one.

I don't really know then, maybe create a new one following 1:1 the tutorial, or Google more on the topic.

should I be using SFML 2? i have been using sfml 1-6

Yes! Definitely!
SFML 1.6 hasn't been touched in 2.5 years, has a few nasty bugs and lacks quite a few nice features (e.g. sf::VertexArray, sf::RenderTexture).

Okay! thanks a lot for the help
