Nobody will/can help you if you don't state at minimum:
- OS
- version of C::B and compiler
- steps to reproduce
- example code snippets
- full compiler log

Please keep that in mind for future posts. Thank you.

This is not the full build log.
Hit rebuild: Build->Rebuild
and post the log from the Build Log tab

More.
Your code seems to be a standard c console application, not a Windows 32 application. You have probably chosen the wrong template and it's why Winmain is asked.
Try first with the simple console application (simple hello program).
