I get 'Undefined reference to 'WinMain@16' Under Visual C, you need to link with SDL2main.lib. Under the gcc build environments including Dev-C, you need to link with the output of 'sdl-config -libs', which is usually: -lmingw32 -lSDL2main -lSDL2. I get undefined references to various SDL functions. Jul 02, 2015 This feature is not available right now. Please try again later.
Undefined Reference To Winmain In Dev C Pdf
But in the end my compiler comes with a lot of errors, all of them is: [Linker error] undefined reference to `Something' basically any command in the source code (Any SDL commands that is). I have read in other threads, that it's because i have forgotten to include the library, but i think i have. I'm using the dev-c++ compiler. I went into the: Tools fan, and then chose: compiler options. Then i chose Directories. After that i went to the: 'Directories' fan. In here, there are three deifferend things i can include: Binaries, Libraries, C includes and C++ includes. I didn't include anything in binaries, since i couldn't find any SDL binaries. I included the directory called: 'Lib', as the SDL library. I included the directory called: 'Include' as both the C includes and the C++ includes, since i didn't know which of them it was supposed to be included as. SDL, needs to be installed, and as so, it get's a stand alone directory, in C:/Program files/SDL (Or whereever you choose to locate it), the directorires i refer to, that i included, are all directories located in that directory. So it seems, to me, like i included about everything, that's supposed to be included. It should be said that i'm learning C++. so i'm a n00b at this. I'm new to both the langauge and the compiler, though i have programmed in another langauge, for pretty some while. But since i'm new, i would ask you to now assume that i can anything, cause i realy can't. So please help me, step by step, i haven't even made the source code. It's from my stipendium. O, and please tell me why i have to do what i have to do. I don't just wanna know how to fix it, i also wanna know why i'm fixing it the way i am, since i'm learning the langauge, i would also like to learn from this mistake ^^ i would also like to know how to correct the error, from the title. ([Linker error] undefined reference to `WinMain@16') i have came to the understanding, that, that specific error has another way to be corrected, than the rest.

Getting Error ' Linker error undefined reference to `WinMain@16' ' Create a Java program which should contain Circle as a Base Class in which you have to make two. Troughton: I did mean to insult you. Since you say you read the FAQ's, and hopefully you read the one I pointed you to, and based on your response, I will now make the assumption that you simply don't understand what the answer means.

Undefined Reference To Winmain In Dev C 2017
>[Linker error] undefined reference to `WinMain@16' You've created a project that's being built as a Win32 application. Those guys use WinMain instead of main as the entry point. If you want a regular C++ program, you have to choose the correct project type (which would be a console project of some sort) or build it yourself manually from the command line.
