C++ undefined reference to WinMain@16 (Code::Blocks)
c++, codeblocks
Solution
I just had the exact same problem working with the exact same tutorials.
How to solve this? I found that restarting CodeBlocks gets rid of this error. It has nothing to do with how you created the files or any of your syntax. A restart does the trick.
Why does this occur? If I had to take a wild guess, I would think that CodeBlocks does indeed create the header/cpp files, it does not however link them to your project in a proper way that makes them usable (although it does ask you to link them to the project after you create them). This is a guess.
I understand that some people have commented on this by saying that you're creating a Windows GUI console application instead of a console application, but this is not the case. I too was creating a simple console application as Bucky explains in the videos.
Problem
I'm learning C++ with Code::Blocks, and everytime i try to create a new class, I get an error message saying: ``` undefined reference to `WinMain@16' ``` Here's the code I've been using: Main Class ``` #include "Lime.h" #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { Lime lime; return 0; } ``` Lime Class (.ccp): ``` #include "Lime.h" #include <iostream> using namespace std; Lime::Lime() { cout<<"Hi!"; } ``` Lime Header (.h): ``` #ifndef LIME_H #define LIME_H class Lime { public: Lime(); }; #endif ``` If someone knows, how to fix it, please, tell me!
