gcc compile error - undefined reference to `main`

[ezeke1]

Hello All,
I'm getting some gcc compile errors and the compiler is complaining with this message;
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/../../../crt1.o(text+0x18): In function `_start`:
../sysdeps/i386/elf/start.S:77: undefined reference to `main'

I'm running redhat 9.0 and after some google searches, I found that people who had the same error may have an imcompatible gcc compiler. Can anyone help me understand what's happening?

Thanks,
David

Have you got a main() method ?
IE :

//entry point to application
int main() {

}

Actually I do not have a main() method. The code I'm compiling is a module that isn't a standalone program. I use to have a main.c which held the main method but that went away. So the compiler is looking for a main()?

Thanks,
David

sedj - I added a main method and the compile error went away. Thank you for catching that
