Using -Lgdi32.lib -Luser32.lib? Same error.
The part after that:
If you want the Windows subsystem too, use
-L/subsystem:windows -L/entry:mainCRTStartup.
Pass BOTH -L/subsystem:windows AND -L/entry:mainCRTStartup
Good! work very well! Thank you!
The difference is because DMD uses different linkers on Windows.
By default, it links 32-bit programs with OPTLINK. That linker
only requires the subsystem flag---it will recognize that you
have a `main` function.
When compiling with -m32mscoff or -m64, it uses the Microsoft
linker. That linker requires that you also specify the program
entry function---it always expects `WinMain`, and the
`mainCRTStartup` tells it to look for `main` instead.
