Cant compile sfml on windows

I have attached a picture of the error that I get.

Because copy pasting the error was so much harder?

If you link sfml-main you need to use the windows subsystem by adding the -mwindows flag.

Hi, I tried to add the flag but it still produces the same error

Also, don't create unnecessary polls. There's a big blue "NEW TOPIC" button for creating a new thread.

Where did you add the flag?

[d4nn97]

g++ -LC:\SFML\lib -o main.exe -o main.o -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system  -mwindows

[eXpl0it3r]

So you removed sfml-main now?

[d4nn97]

gcc -LC:\SFML\lib -o main.exe -o main.o -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system -lsfml-main -mwindows

[d4nn97]

g++ -IC:\SFML\include -c main.cpp -o main.o
g++ -LC:\SFML\lib -o main.exe -o main.o -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system  -lsfml-main -mwindows

I have compiled and tried to execute the program in this way but i get the following error

C:/mingw64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/6.1.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/../lib/libmingw32.a(lib64_libmingw32_a-crt0_c.o):crt0_c.c:(.text.startup+0x2e): undefined reference to `WinMain'
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Please don't create multiple topics...

You're using the -o flag twice when linking. The -o flag is for the output file and not for the object file, so you need to just provide the object file without -o flag.

Ok thank you. I was trying to move this to a better place thinking i could delete or move my previous post.
