Hello there :)
I have been using Visual Studio on a program which I have just completed, however I need to have it compiling using a unix based compiler, when I try in cygwin, I get the following error:
undefined reference to `_WinMain@16'
I have tried searching for a workaround, although I am not a programming guru, and I find it difficult to comprehend the discussions on this topic :)
Any help is appreciated.

Thankyou for the replies.
yes it has a main function.
The full error I am getting is:
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../libcygwin.a(lib cmain.o):: undefined reference to `_WinMain@16'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [nurseryTest] Error 1
You have created the wrong kind of project.
You have created a Windows application instead of a Console Application.
Do this:
1) Create a Win3e2 project
2) When the wizard appears DO NOT CLICK FINISH!
3) Instead, click Application Settings
4) Select Console Application and Empty Project
5) Now click finish
and off you go.
Egad! I didn't see you were using Cygwin.
You still have an incorrect project setup
But my instructions were for Visual Studio.
Sorry.

Is your cygwin compiler of Dev-C++?

Savage
I am unsure what you mean?
It is just the regular Cygwin that you get off the website...
Basically I need this program to compile in a unix environment

Hi, I am trying to compile a sample program using gcc. The program
requires headers so I put the header files and corresponding source

Hello,
i am trying to compile a code(main.cpp) which uses a function that is declared in a header file that is within the directory where the main.cpp file resides so the header is included as
#include"abc.h"
that function's definition is inside abc.cpp that also resides in the directory of main.cpp i.e with abc.h
but still on usage of that function i get "undefined reference to" that function error....
How is this possible??
