Hello

Here is the link error:

Linking...
   Creating library ReleaseMinDependency/Pop.lib and object
ReleaseMinDependency/Pop.exp
LIBCMT.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main
ReleaseMinDependency/Pop.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

I realise I can remove ATL_MIN_CRT in my project but would rather find out
what C runtime function in my code is causing the problem. Is there an easy
way to find this ... or is the only thing to do look through each line of
code?
