You need to be more precise when posting errors, by
using Windows copy & paste to post the *complete*
and *exact* message(s).

>The error arises only when
>cliext::vector ^c; is added.

Well, that line *by itself* may cause a link error.
Consider these examples:

#include «stdafx.h»
#include
using namespace System;

ref class SomeClass
<

#include «stdafx.h»
#include
using namespace System;

ref class SomeClass
<

int main(array ^args)
<
// Builds without errors:
cliext::vector c;
return 0;
>

#include «stdafx.h»
#include
using namespace System;

ref class SomeClass
<

int main(array ^args)
<
// Builds without errors:
cliext::vector ^c =
gcnew(cliext::vector );
return 0;
>

#include «stdafx.h»
#include
using namespace System;

ref class SomeClass
<

int main(array ^args)
<
// Builds without errors:
cliext::vector ^c;
c = gcnew(cliext::vector );
return 0;
>

It is much better to show the full error message that the linker gives you and your code if possible, the actual symbol that it is missing is displayed on the line before.

Does creating a new windows forms application and just building it without adding any code produce the same error?

This is a signature

Any samples given are not meant to have error checking or show best practices. They are meant to just illustrate a point. I may also give inefficient code or introduce some problems to discourage copy/paste coding. This is because the major point of my posts is to aid in the learning process.

Do you want Visual Studio 11 Express to be freely installable on Windows 7 and able to write regular C++ applications? Please vote for this.

Question

1> Skipping task because its outputs are up-to-date.

1>MSVCRTD.lib(wcrtexe.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol wmain referenced in function __tmainCRTStartup this is what my error is can someone help me

Answers

change the «subsystem» in your linker settings from «Windows» to «Console» Or if it is a UNICODE build, use wWinMainCRTStartup as entry point in the linker properties.

Linker Tools Error LNK2019
Error Message
unresolved external symbol ‘symbol’ referenced in function ‘function’
An undefined external symbol (symbol) was found in function. To resolve this error, provide a definition for symbol or remove the code that references it. For more information, see,Function

Automatic (function scope) variables

Missing function body or variable

Common problems that cause LNK2019 include:

The declaration of the symbol contains a spelling mistake, such that, it is not the same name as the definition of the symbol.

A function was used but the type or number of the parameters did not match the function definition.

The calling convention (__cdecl, __stdcall, or __fastcall) differs on the use of the function declaration and the function definition.

Symbol definitions are in a file that was compiled as a C program and symbols are declared in a C++ file without an extern «C» modifier. In that case, modify the declaration, for example, instead of:

Copy Code extern int i;
extern void g();use:

Copy Code extern «C» int i;
extern «C» void g();

Question

I recently downloaded Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express. I created a new file and entered this code:

// my first program in C++

#include
using namespace std;

int main ()
<
cout —— Build started: Project: my_first_cpp_project, Configuration: Debug Win32 ——
1>LINK : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _mainCRTStartup
1>c:usersjakedocumentsvisual studio 2010Projectsmy_first_cpp_projectDebugmy_first_cpp_project.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

I’ve seen this problem discussed elsewhere on the internet, but never in terms I can understand. Please keep in mind I have NO programming experience whatsoever, so the terms «linkers» and «libraries» are meaningless to me. In addition to telling me what’s going on, could someone also tell me where I can find a good, easy-to-use C++ tutorial? All the tutorials I’ve tried to use so far use terms in the first few sentences that already have me confused.
