I'm trying to compile a fortran program in Microsoft Developer Studio. The code compiles, but I get the following error messages when I try to "build" the project:
--------------------Config
Linking...
libcd.lib(wincrt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16
Debug/TCEbiofilm.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.
TCEbiofilm.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)
--------------------------
Any help in solving this problem will be much appreciated
