In need of help with a simple program
This may sound stupid but this is my first time programing with C++ and I am trying a project out of a book. This is copied exactly as it is in the book but I get errors when building the .exe

Code:
// TrialRun.cpp
// Our First Program
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	cout << "Some people think programming Windows"
		 << endl
		 << "is like nailing jello to the ceiling..."
		 << endl
		 << "easy with the right kind of nails."
		 << endl << endl;
	return 0;

}


This is the message I get from the output window.

--------------------Configuration: TrialRun - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...
TrailRun.cpp
Linking...
LIBCD.lib(wincrt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16
Debug/TrialRun.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

TrialRun.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Does anyone know why this is happing? I can't figure it out.

Well, Jaf

I would check your compiler, I copied and pasted the exact text into my compiler, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and it compiled fine with no errors!!

Yeah, what compiler are you using? And do you have it set to build a console app (as apposed to a GUI)?

Well this linker error results in sometimes when the linker cannot locate the libraries.

Have you set the "LIB" environment variable? The installation sets this by default, but sometimes you may need to set this to include all the libs.

I am using visual c++ 6.0. Someone sugested that it might be a problem with .net, that maybe I don't have it installed correctly. Geo.Garentt, what compiler are you using?

I have the same problem if I try to use 'using namespace std;' in Visual C++ 6.0

I'd say it's a compiler problem. B-Con recommended Dev-Cpp and I don't get the error with that.
