Hello all,
I'm trying out Ultimate++ release 511, I choosed to create new package from something like "console (no U++)" template, and compile it with MS C++ toolkit.
It will fail due to this problem:
LIBCD.lib(wincrt0.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 referenced in function _WinMainCRTStartup
This is because the executable is linked with
"-subsystem:windows"
option, while it should be linked with "-subsystem:console" option.
I know how to make it work in command line (sorry, I didn't bother to try if this is the only problem, and linking process is really succesfull after this change, so maybe there is more to do), but I don't know how to change this option in Ultimate++ IDE!
I checked some basic menus like Setup/Build methods and Build/Output mode, where I would expect the ability to change all options (like the Visual Studio has it in project properties), but I can't find a way to change this behaviour from IDE menu.
I didn't read any manuals yet, so I don't know if I can change this behaviour by editing some .ini files or something like that...
I just wished to try the IDE out, and use it for some simple console applications to produce some text files with numeric tables... so far it *looks* neat, but doesn't work for me.
I'm looking forward to try the IDE in action, hopefully someone will know how to fix this problem.
P.S.
I can't switch off this board from turning "_WinMain@16" into clickable e-mail automatically... heh...

Uh, my case is more complicated...
I already found the code in sources of IDE, which is responsible for linker options, and it does work for completely new package.
My case happened in this way:
I added new "test" package with "Basic CtrlLib application" ... toyed around with it for a while, than I deleted the package, and all files in "MyApps" directory.
I added "test" package (again) with "Console application ..." this time, and tried to build it. Than the linking process fails, but the test.upp file does NOT contain "GUI" flag, so it should work ok.
I think some cache in upp directory is responsible for this.
...
After doing some more restarts of IDE I don't see the "test" and "test2" packages anymore in "Select main package" menu, unless I check the "All packages" checkbox, but it's sort of weird to not see packages created by me so soon.
