Did you code a main() function?

[mohamed_nasr]

yes

int main()

[Ancient Dragon]

Is this the first console program you have written since installing that compiler? Maybe you have a configuration problem.

[mohamed_nasr]

it is the first time to use the program on windows 7

Please read this thread and see if it helps you.

[mohamed_nasr]

it doesn't work

[Moschops]

int main()
{
return 0;
}

This compiles fine on my system; it must be your setup. Did you definitely make it clear that you wanted to create a console programme and not any kind of windowed programme?

[mohamed_nasr]

console program

Attached is a HelloWorld program I created. Unzip it on your computer then load the solution and try to compile/link it.

[mohamed_nasr]

it gave the same error

[mohamed_nasr]

i found a solution
the problem was that the cpp file is generated in "source files" folder

thank you
