Compiler Looking for main.c

[mathguy]

I'm moving forward slowly but surely.  I am trying to produce a DLL.  When it gets to the linking stage, it fails because it is looking for main.o.  My program does not have a main.c file.  What do I set in CodeBlocks to prevent that error from tripping up the build and link?

DLLs do not require a main.o, a main.c or indeed a main() function. Somehow you have added a main.c to your project - somehow you need to get rid of it.

Having main.c doesn't mean there is main(...) function in it.
In fact on Windows you have dllmain one.
And also c::b project template creates a main.c or main.cpp file.

I didn't say it did.

Which is optional.

I know, that's why I suggested he got rid of it.
