Hey, I’m relatively new to OpenGL, and I got this error, after following a tutorial from Nehe, saying, well two actually, but it says:
LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main
Debug/trial.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals (thats probably pointing to the upper error… lol)
Can someone help me fix this?
this problem has nothing to do with opengl itself. i would guess you are compiling under windows and you did copy and paste some windows application code into a console application project. instead of the main function a winmain function is needed for windows application. this one could not be found => linking error.
if you are using visual studio, change linker/system/subsystem settings in the project property page to “Windows”. if nothing helps, try to get some project files from nehe.
I made it a win32 app… but now i get this error
fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header directive
disable precompiled headers in the project settings or add the line
#include “stdafx.h”
which has the needed defines and stuff. personally i dont like precompiled headers.
you can enter the error number into .net’s help prompt and read what causes the problem and how to solve it.
enter: “C1010”
