<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m trying to build ParaView for the first time in many years on a Windows machine with Visual Studio (using the ninja build program), and I am running into the following linker error. It appears that the link command for paraview.exe is
failing because the symbol WinMain is not defined. (I am listing the verbose error below at the end if this email for reference.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The ParaView GUI should be a “windows” program (vs. a “console” program), so defining WinMain sounds like the right thing. But I do not see where WinMain is defined in the code. Looking at the paraview_main.cxx source file that is generated,
sure enough it defines main instead of WinMain. Am I missing something when configuring the build?<o:p></o:p></p>
