Missing Main In Allegro

Hi
I am learning allegro API but whenever i include "allegro.h" in mine code i get the following error

Quote:

template error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function _mainCRTStartup

I m using VS2005 but i get same type of message from DevC++ n code::blocks also
here is mine code

#include <iostream>

#include <string>

#include <limits>

#include <vector>

#include <allegro.h>

using namespace std;



template< typename X > 

 X add(X t1,X t2)

 {

         return t1+t2;

 }



int main()

{

        string str1 = "umesh";

        string str2 =" Rocks";

        cout<<add(4,5)<<endl;

        cout<<add(93.5,6.99)<<endl;

        cout<<add(str1,str2)<<endl;

        getchar();

        cout<<endl;

        cout<<endl;

        int x =10;

        return 0;

        getchar();

}

Re: Missing Main In Allegro

Read the Allegro documentation. Some libraries require that 'main' have a specific signature. You may also be required to set the entry point.

If you just want to fumble about try:

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

{

    return 0;

}

"END_OF_MAIN() // This must be called right after the closing bracket of your MAIN function.
// It is Allegro specific."
