Unresolved external symbol in Visual c++!?? HELP!!

[piski]

I keep getting these messages:

LIBCD.lib(wincrt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16
Debug/app.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

this happens on the most simple code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout << "hello";

return 0;
}

what am i doing wrong? this just started happening!

create a skeleton console app with appwizard and see which # includes you're missing

It sounds like you've built a Win32 project and that's why it's looking for WinMain instead of Main. If you want to make a generic application then make a console project instead.
