Expected Initializer before 'Foo()'

[bijan311]

When I compile my program it gives me this error

|26|error: expected initializer before 'WinMain'|

I don't know how to fix this.

Thanks for your time

Show your program.

Probably a missing ;

Maybe even at the end of the class

class Foo {
  // some stuff
} ;  // <==== THIS ONE

Ok, here's the code to the GameEngine.cpp file

The "WinAPI" in the definition of WinMain() should be all uppercase.

The compiler is not complaining about an invalid identifier, because WinAPI is defined as something different from WINAPI.

Ok, thanks!
