My Game base app: failed build with link error [solved]
Followed 'Creating base application' at end of Barthap's Beginners Tutorial, but getting build fail. Redid a second time after carefully following Visual Studio Settings for project.

Still get build fail with following debug info: "Linking...
LINK : warning LNK4031: no subsystem specified; CONSOLE assumed
libcmt.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup
customersYacht.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

Hi,

why aren't you using supplied visual studio projects from the SDK?
They're available for both 2008 and 2010.

Problem solved. My first fresh app (using just the 00 - Start.cpp) works.

Before, I was trying to do it the harder way (make a New Project, manually adjust debug and release configuration properties etc.) to help me learn VC and your engine. I bit off more than I could chew.

Thanks for taking time to respond and help me.
