the error you got is because the lack of the main function
in win32 application.

the function prototype is:

int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine,
int nCmdShow);


if you do not intend to use winapi then create a new workspace and choose console application.

first of all thanks for the reply, but.........


i meant every single **** program.

got the same error on the following prog :

#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
printf("cannot find where is the error\n");
}

braileanul, you may still be encountering a problem with your project settings like Guys said. Try this, open a soure FILE with your example, it will ask you to create a project when you start to compile, do this, that should give you a clean project and should compile.
