Thread: [Dev-C++] undefined reference error?

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi,

I created empty project, I added 2 files to it:  stack.h and stack.cpp

When I compile I get weird error. It is very obtuse and does not even give 
a Line number of the error! Here is error:

Compiler: Default compiler
Building Makefile: "C:\c++\PSCpp4E\ch15\Makefile.win"
Executing  make...
make.exe -f "C:\c++\PSCpp4E\ch15\Makefile.win" all
g++.exe -c stack.cpp -o stack.o 
-I"C:/DEV-CPP/include"  -I"C:/DEV-CPP/include"

g++.exe stack.o  -o "Stack.exe" 
-L"C:/DEV-CPP/lib"  -I"C:/DEV-CPP/include"  -I"C:/DEV-CPP/include"

C:/DEV-CPP/lib/libmingw32.a(main.o)(.text+0x7f):main.c: undefined reference 
to `WinMain@16'

Execution terminated

Please help someone.

Below are source files.

Regards,
Zach
