LIBCMT.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main

Hi, what's the best way to fix this problem? It's been preventing me from using this software.

(I attached my VS2005 express project, incase that could come in useful)

Thanks

Have you implemented your void DarkDGK() function?

You will also need to make sure that #include <DarkGDK.h> is included, as this imports the necessary .lib files to resolve the 'main' function which is implemented by the DGDK lib files.

That really should be #include <DarkGDK.h>

if your using quotation, it's only looking in the local project folder.

I'm trying to establish if DarkGDK.h is actually getting included into the build. I know the samples use "DarkGDK.h", but if your getting an unresolved _main error, chances are that the GDK libraries are not being linked.

Can you check under Tools/Options/Projects/VC++ directories, to see if both the include and library paths are pointing to where GDK is installed on your PC?

This is most strange, most stange indeed. The problem occurs when creating a Console based project.

I resolved the problem by creating a win32 Empty project.

Attached is my attempt. Also, with the latest version of the DGDK, download from your orders page, you only need to exclude 'Quartz.lib' from the library exclusion list.

Incidently, I think that - although they now include the DBO*.h stuff - globals.h (or is it global.h? not sure, I'm not at home right now) is still missing in the distribution. Had to fish that file out from the 6.2 extras zip.

I have vague plans for World Domination
