    Borland C++Builder 6

    I have a problem with Borland C++Builder 6.

    The problem comes when i try to run a program with it:

    [Linker Error] Unresolved external 'WinMain' referenced from C:\PROGRAMFILER\BORLAND\CBUILDER6\LIB\C0W32.OBJ

    What does that mean?
    I have tried the same code in another compiler, and that worked just fine.

    You're trying to build it as a windows application, and the entry point for a windows application is WinMain.

    If you're doing a console application, that starts at main(), you need to tell it that.

    Yeah... make sure you select Win32 Console App for your project type.
    The word rap as it applies to music is the result of a peculiar phonological rule which has stripped the word of its initial voiceless velar stop.

    I've started my program with main()

    How can i make the program as a console program?

    From memory, you go
    File->New... and select Console Wizard, and then check 'Console application'

    Thats off the top of my head though, I don't have it on this computer.

    Thanks, I found it.

    But now i've got two errors more, these are:

    [C++ Error] Test.cpp(18): E2476 Cannot overload 'main'

    and...

    [C++ Error] Test.cpp(18): E2178 VIRDEF name conflict for 'main()'

    What can the problem be this time?

    If its not too big post your code, my guess is you have 2 definitions for main in there somewhere.
