    Angry Winsock drama

    Hey evry1, I have a slight prob. I got onto blacksun.box.uk ( it think it was there) and got a simple winsock tutorials in WinApi code and did the usual linking with the Wsock32.lib file and windows.h etc. Everytime I try to compile it it gives me the 1 error that says "missing (something) int _main". What gives?
    Weeel, itss aboot tieme wee goo back too Canada, eeehy boyss.

    Your project settings are to compile for CONSOLE. You need a Windows application. Either create a new project with Win32 or look into the projekt options and set the subsystem parameter from console to windows.

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.

    Our good buddies @ M$ decided that no serious developer would ever want to compile for an environment where widows (32bit) did not run.

    If you want 16Bit, there are compilers on the web that you can download, but dont expect MSVC++6 to compile anything less than 32Bit

    [edit]btw... what version of MSVC++ allowed you to compile in 16bit...out of interest[/edit]
