Requesting help for error LNK2001

[Diana]

I get the following error when I compile a simple console application in Visual C++:

Linking...

LIBCD.lib(wincrt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16

I've read the documentation but I can't seem to find my error - lthough I must admit I'm a beginner and don't know a

lot of the concepts mentioned. Here's my main application if anyone sees anything obvious that I might be doing wrong

please let me know.

#include "TopoSort.h" // this file includes

// <stdlib.h>,<iostream.h>,<fstream.h>

... // and others

// a bunch of functions here

...

int main (void) // main routine

{

int x=1; // used for keyboard control of while

ofstream fout; // an output file

AdjList AL; // an adjacency list

int DFmax=1;

ifstream fin; // an input file

char fileName[10]; // a file name

fout.open("out.txt" // prepare output file

while (x)

{

cout << "Enter file name: "; // print a message

cin >> fileName;

fin.open(fileName); // open that file

if (!fin)

{

cout << "Cannot open "<< fileName << ".";

return 0;

}

GetData(AL,fout,fin); // get adjacency list data

//******variable definitions for each set of data***********

Array InvDFnum(AL.Size); // the inverse of DF numbering //(to

find vertex)

Array DFnum(AL.Size); // the DF numbering

Array LowPt(AL.Size); // the low points

Init(DFnum,InvDFnum,LowPt);

//************************************************

// DFnumbering(fout,1,AL,DFnum,DFmax);

DFmax=1;

DFS(fout,1,AL,DFnum,LowPt,DFmax,InvDFnum);

fout<<"----------------------------------------"<<endl;

cout<< "press 0 to quit:";

cin >>x;

}//end while

fout.close();

fout<<"Output written to file: out.txt"<<endl;

return 1;

} // end of main()

Make a new workspace Win32 Console Application with an empty project.

Propably you specified something that needs a WinMain() (like MFC, ...) instead of the main().

I am grateful for your response. Thank you.


This did indeed work.
