I began the tutorial found here (http://www.arcsynthesis.org/gltut/).

I have followed all of the step in the Building the Tutorials page but when I try to compile the first tutorial project I get the

warning : The referenced project 'framework\framework.vcxproj' does not exist.

and the

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup
This is one of my first steps out of console programming so I am sure I am missing something obvious.
I am building it on Visual Studios 2012 Ult on a Windows 8 machine.

I am sure I am missing the information you need for me to solve the problem so please let me know what exact information you need.

You need a main() function so the program knows where to start.

Answers for the same problem as yours can be found here: error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup

  • The code I am using is built by the guy who made the tutorial. He using a main that is a separate file called framework. And each project uses that, I'm not sure how it works (or lack there of). – Hunter O'Rourke Oct 06 '13 at 04:17
  • @HunterO'Rourke: Well, then I suggest you read up on the topics of *compilation units* and *linking*. Also I suggest you read and try to understand the arcsynthesis framework. – datenwolf Oct 06 '13 at 10:20
