you using a main() function right?

Please note when compiling on Win64, you need to explicitly list -Lgdi32.lib -Luser32.lib on the build command. If you want the Windows subsystem too, use -L/subsystem:windows -L/entry:mainCRTStartup.

If using ldc instead of dmd, use -L/entry:wmainCRTStartup instead of mainCRTStartup; note the "w".

I am using a main() function.
I am compiling on Windows x86 32 bits.
I am using DMD 2.100.0
This error is only in version 2.100.0 of DMD.

Are you using the `-L/entry:mainCRTStartup` or the `L/entry:wmainCRTStartup` ?

-L/entry:mainCRTStartup

Did you try 2.099 too? Because the default build mode for 32bit was changed to MS-COFF and it smells a litte bit that you have used OMF before. MS-COFF format inserts the reference to the C-runtime library automatically.

Try the -m32omf switch.

I tried compiling now on x64 without console using -L/SUBSYSTEM:windows user32.lib -L/entry:mainCRTStartup -m64 and it doesn't work. It compiles, but the program does not run afterwards. I also tried to add -m32omf But in this case the compilation error. How to solve this?
