Linker Error! Oh No!

OK heres the deal see, I'm playing around with C++'s rand functions n' such, When I decide I want to make a dice rolling sim. here is what I have:

Code:

I keep getting a Linker Error, like the one below :::

[Linker error] undefined reference to 'WinMain@16'

Whats going on!!! ;_;

You need to compile as a console app, not a Windows app.

You need a function called main that specifies a return value of int. You have a function called Main. Case matters, so the linker cannot find main when you only have Main.

Also, the proper parameters for main are either none or int, char**. So I'd change it to this:

Code:

---

int main()
{
  // code here
}

---

You use the parameters int iSides, int iTotal, int iNumbr, as if they were local variables. Those should be local variables in main, not function parameters.

>> You need to compile as a console app, not a Windows app.
This might be the problem, but I think the same error appears either way if you fail to provide an actual main.

By the way, do you notice any similarity in your d* functions that can be exploited?

You also call srand() WAY too many times. Enough times to ensure rand() returns the same value each time.

Once is enough, right at the start of main().
