Hi! group,

I've built MFC 4.2 (nafxcw.lib) using 8.28 beta. But when I link my
application, I get the following warning from the linker and the application
fails to start.

OPTLINK : Warning 134 : No Start Address

What does this mean ?

thanks in advance,

It's probably because the linker is looking for a 'main' and not for a 'WinMain'

Make sure you .def file uses:

EXETYPE        NT
SUBSYSTEM    WINDOWS,4.0

And include the .def file in your link command.

I did that and still get the same error (134: No Start Address)

No start address means you need a main(), a WinMain(), or a DllMain()
function to serve as entry point for your exe/dll.
