Date / Time Stuff..

Date / Time Stuff..

[Keet / Foxbird]

I tried compiling some 'out-of-the-box' examples from a learn C++ guide and
I get a really nice error that looks like this:

C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\fb5.56\test\c++tutor\source>c++ -g -O -o date date.cpp
C:\gnuwin32\b18\H-i386-cygwin32\lib\gcc-lib\i386-cygwin32\cygnus-2.7.2-97040
4\..
/../../../i386-cygwin32\lib/libcygwin.a(libcmain.o)(.text+0x1e):libcmain.cc:
 und
efined reference to `WinMain@16'
C__~1.EXE: Internal compiler error: program ld got fatal signal 1

Am I missing a library, an environment setting or something along those
lines? I've compiled other date stuff before, but this is the first one
that doesn't work. If you need the source, just ask, I've got it available.

This can happen when you are missing a main() function in your program.
If you are then gcc and ld will link a default main() that calls
WinMain.  This is so people who write windows programs can compile them
using gcc/g++.

Hope this helps.
