[prog] error: "reference 'main' can not be resolved"

[Sue Stones]

I get messages like that in Java if there is no parameters listed for 
the main program. (I know you are talking about C here). What is causing 
the error for you? My supposition is that the error is produced in the 
compiler before it reaches the linker-loader, but this is just my guess. 
You could test this by using the -S flag that Mary mentioned and seeing 
if you still get the error.
