Hi Greg, I get unresolved linker error on main when I use /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS:
1>MSVCRTD.lib(crtexew.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup 1>E:\scratch\ttt\Debug\ttt.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals Now in this case I replaced my own code with code from an example editor.cxx. Same error results. It works fine if I switch to SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE. Strangely, I don't know why but when I run editord.exe from windows shell, it runs without any dos window. All the other examples in the test directory run with dos window. I await for your feedback.
