Thread: WinMain help!

I have this code:

Code:

 int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
    DWORD       readerThreadId;
    HANDLE      rc;
    int         opt;
    const char *baudStr = NULL;
    const char *portStr = "com1";


    PKT_TextChar        = PacketTextChar;
    PKT_SendChar        = PacketSendChar;
    PKT_PacketReceived  = PacketReceived;

    LogInit( stdout );

    while (( opt = getopt_long( argc, argv, "b:dhmp:sv", gLongOption, NULL )) > 0 )
    {
        switch ( opt )

after that there is a bunch of case statements that are irrelevent. My problem is that after compilation if gives this error

"error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 referenced in function _WinMainCRTStartup"

I have looked at a few different pages and I cant seem to figure out how to write this so that it works. I know about WinMain and its parameters, but my main function has its own parameters and I dont know what to do with those. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
