Help!

[Procyon]

I'm trying to get started in opengl, I tried compiling a simple program, but I get
LIBCD.lib(wincrt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16
Debug/gl.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.
Dunno whats going on. Help?

Some people should never be allowed near a compiler.

Try doing a search. This topic has been covered many times before.

Latrans,
Your response was uncalled for. Or maybe you were born knowing these things.

Myotis,
Thanks for the suggestion, but I am not sure what should I use to search for this problem. It is very confusing for me.

you created a windows appication, and created at void main() function, but the compiler expects a int WinMain(...), try creating a console application and moving your code there or replace void main() with int WinMain(...), though you would have to look up the parameters

I agree with Latrans.

The Parameter is void
so go:

void main(void)
{
}

I thoroughly disagree with Latrans. I've been working with openGL for about two years now and with C++ alot longer. You do not wake up with this information one moring. It is blood and tears at the start then it gets much easier.

This sort of elitist attitude pisses me off. Latrans, you are a bit of a tube!

Chowe,
Thanks for your help. But now I have a different problem. I get the error

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

I agree that it takes some time to learn to program. And even longer to learn to program well. But so many questions here are questions on how to program, not questions on OpenGL. If only people would learn to program before they learn to program with OpenGL, their life would be so much simpler. People can hurt themselves trying to run before they can walk.
