Help! Unicode and WinMain@16 problem, aga

[Neo]

My test program is very simple:

include <stdio.h>

include <tchar.h>

class test
{
public:
test()
{
_putts(_T("Hello wonderful world!"));
}
};

ifdef _UNICODE

define _gettchar getwchar

else

define _gettchar getchar

endif

int _tmain(int argc, TCHAR** argv)
{
test t;

_putts(_T("Press ENTER key to end..."));
_gettchar();

return 0;
}

If I compile with _UNICODE/UNICODE defined, I get the following error:

g++.exe -c test.cpp -o test.o -I"C:/Dev-C++/include" -I"C:/MinGW/include/c++/3.4.2" -D_UNICODE -DUNICODE

g++.exe test.o -o "test.exe" -L"C:/Dev-C++/lib" -L"C:/MinGW/lib"

C:/MinGW/lib/libmingw32.a(main.o):main.c:(.text+0x106): undefined reference to `WinMain@16'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

mingw32-make: *** [test.exe] Error 1

If I don't define _UNICODE/UNICODE then the project builds successfully.

I searched the web for solutions, but none of them works for me.

Thanks. I think I have to stick to non-Unicode build.

No reply??? Can anyone help?

MingW does not provide a wide startup module as stated in tchar.h:

/ for porting from other Windows compilers /

if 0 / no wide startup module /

define _tmain wmain

define _tWinMain wWinMain

define _tenviron _wenviron

define __targv __wargv

endif

You can use the standard entry point main( int argc, char** argv) and your sample compiles and runs without errors.

If you need the wide version of argv, you might use the CommandLineToArgvW function:
