i am programming in Microsoft Visual c++ 6.0 and I have two linking
errors that I do not know what they mean. Can someone please help.
Linking...
LIBCD.lib(wincrt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16
Debug/Programming Project 1.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.
Jump to PostIt means you're using the wrong project type. You created a Win32 application (which requires WinMain instead of main) and then treated it as if it were a console application (by using main instead of WinMain).

just replace your int main(void) function with :
int WINAPI WinMain(
HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine,
int nCmdShow
)just replace your int main(void) function with :
int WINAPI WinMain( HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow )
Brilliant! Destroy portability because you're too lazy to delete the project and try again. Since it's not obvious whether the OP wants portable C++ or Win32 C++, a better suggestion would be to create a new project that doesn't expect platform specific code to compile.
I love you.
