      I trying to compile correct unicode application. For this I use UNICODE and _UNICODE defines and -municode linker flag. Building fails with error: undefined reference to `wWinMain@16'

      Full compilation output:

      I looked at Qt 4 and 5 sources. Seems no wWinMain function. Only WinMain.

      In attachments full test case to reproduce a problem. It is cmake project with some specific options.
      ENABLE_UNICODE - enable/disable unicode variant. By default ON.
      QT5_BUILD - Qt5 or Qt4 building. By default ON.

        1. unicode-test.tar.gz
          0.7 kB
        No reviews matched the request. Check your Options in the drop-down menu of this sections header.
