Hello World compiles to hello.obj when built separately, but I keep getting the following link error below. I have installed update 1 and the ilink32 patch as recommended by support, but it does not help. I have assumed the ilink32.dll and exe go in the c++builderX\bin folder. Does anyone know for sure? A search of my files before the ilink patch didn't turn up any ilink32.dll file. Anyone else gone through this??? ilink32 -ap -Tpe -x -Gn C:\CBuilderX\lib\c0x32.obj,"C:\Documents and Settings\User\cbproject\ConsoleApp1\windows\Release_Build\ConsoleApp1.exe",,cw32.lib import32.lib,, Turbo Incremental Link 5.66 Copyright (c) 1997-2002 Borland Error: Unresolved external '_main' referenced from C:\CBUILDERX\LIB\C0X32.OBJ ILINK32 exited with error code: 2 Build cancelled due to errors Any help would be appreciated Robert Back to top Ed Mulroy Guest Posted: Thu Aug 24, 2006 6:32 pm    Post subject: Re: unresolved "main" from c0x32.obj and ilink32 error code Source file is hello.cpp so its object file is hello.obj The linker command line contains comma separated fields which are as follows: object files (options usually also placed here) name of file to create map file name names of libraries names of module definition files names of resource files The command can be truncated at the last field used. In the following command the list of object files only includes the startup code, c0x32.obj. The object file hello.obj is not listed. This guarantees the "_main not found" error that you received and suggests that either hello.cpp was not added to the project. This error is independent of and not subject to any linker patch. No version of the linker is going to know what object files to include unless you tell it of them.

It works OK when Unicode is not enabled, but as soon as you specify -WU on the compiler command line, _tmain() becomes mapped to wmain() and the link fails. Is there a way to resolve this, please???

Add a line with exterm "C" on it immediately before the line with _tmain .. Ed Quote: Paul Collins wrote in message news:21782496.1160397346710.JavaMail.SYSTEM@USSVS-TECHWEB1...
