I've seen this error somewhere before. Best bet is to reformat the hard
drive and install a unix variant on it - usually fixes it.

It says you haven't passed a main() .obj to the linker. Either there is
no main() in your source or libraries, or the compile failed. As to
the snide remarks, it is equally possible to see such a problem on other
suggested OS.

That looks kind of familiar. Browse the existing messages on a newsgroup or
forum or whatever related to your compiler. If you come up empty, post your
question there.

Pretty sure I won't be seeing unresolved errors for _WinMain on any
serious OS I use anytime soon.

Effort in, effort out.

Windows programs need an entry point called
WinMain

Programs to be run in the console use the standard main()
procedure. Just link your program as a console application
and you will solve this problem.

No, it doesn't.
