linking problem

Notsosuperhero · Post by **Notsosuperhero** » Sat Dec 18, 2004 3:27 am

I've went into the options->directories and added the lib folder and the include folder and all that but it still says that it can't find the irrlicht.lib I've tried using #pragma comment and all that but still nothing. I'm using M$ VC++ .NET 2003. Please Help

In your project settings, under Linker->General. Add the path to the directory where Irrlicht.lib resides to "Additional Library Directories"

Or you could go to Tools->Options. Select the Projects group and the VC++ Directories. In the upper right, the combo box labeled - "Show Directories For", change it to Library Files and then add the directory to Irrlicht.lib there.

Setting it in your project, will only work for that project. Setting it in Tools->Options, will set it for every C++ project/solution in VS.

What .lib or whatever do I need to include besides the Irrlicht.lib. When I compile a program Linker error 2019 pops up and says

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

Your project is not setup properly to use WinMain ( for GUI win app ). either use the standard main ( for console apps ) or configure your project properly for gui win app.

I'm curious, what was wrong?

I forgot to to include WinMain I think(I know pretty dumb huh) and I probably didn't choose Win32 app to start with(another dumb mistake).
I was really tired and out of it when I did this though.
