Thread: ...linker error...

int main(void)
is correct c and equivalent to
int main()
in c++

i.e. in c++ there is no difference between
int main() and int main(void)

Your linker errors are probably down to cprintf() or textcolor(). Read the faq for text colouring details on a windows box. dev-c uses mingw as its compiler. This is a windows compiler.

hmm, i never knew that, but i guess it would make sense.....rather than use either or would it be better to use

Code:

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
}

?

//also, sometimes when i let VC 6.0 create my cpp file for me and it uses that with stdafx header sometimes it'll compile error that it cant open that header file, but then i make another one the same way and it works....

Its best to keep things simple....

in c you want

int main(void)
or if you are using command line args...
int main( int argc,char* argv[])
or its functional equivalent...
int main( int argc,char**argv)

in c++

int main()
or if using commandline args same as for c.

You've been here how long, and you don't read the FAQ on main() usage?
