Im using VC6 and i have followed the tutrial for hello word step by step. When i compile the example of Hello World that comes with the sdk it works fine but when i compile mine i get
Linking...
LIBCD.lib(wincrt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16
Debug/helloworld.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.
helloworld.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)
Im sorry but ive been doing most of my C coding in linux so i dont really understand the linker error. Im guessing its not being able import a symbol for some windows dll?

Wello im retarded i noticed the tutorial never said to start a new win32 app or win32 console app, and i started a new win32 app but it looks like the source for the Hello World tuorial was written using a console app. Is this the problem would make since seeing as how all the example code is pretty dos style.
same errors?

Make sure if you are compiling with VC++ and possibly Dev C++ (I'm not 100% sure on that) to make your project a Win32 Console application and not a Win32 Application.
