    Resolved [Sloved] (Directx Related) unresolved external symbol _main

    Code:
    -------------------Configuration: d3dxconsoletest - Win32 Debug--------------------
    Compiling...
    scr.cpp
    Linking...
    LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main
    Debug/d3dxconsoletest.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
    Error executing link.exe.
    
    d3dxconsoletest.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)
    I'm completely new to directx and tried this tutorial:
    http://www.directxtutorial.com/Tutor...ics/dx9B1.aspx
    (you can see the hole code at the end, i didn't posted it because it takes a lot of space)

    I made a console application and i have the march 2009 directx SDK.

    Please help me resolve this issue.

    Do you have a main() function?

    No.
    In the tutorial there was no main function.

    Well, then something's wrong with the tutorial. I mean, where do you *expect* control to begin when you launch the app?

    EDIT: It appears the tutorial is using WinMain() as the entry point. You'll need to change your project type from Console Application to Windows Application if you want to use that entry point. I'm not sure if that actually makes a difference as far as ability to use D3D, though.
