I had the same error problem using Code Blocks rev 13.12. I may be wrong here since I am less than a beginner :)

My problem was that I accidentally capitalized "M" in Main() instead of ALL lowercase = main() - once corrected, it worked!!!

I noticed that you have "int main()" instead of "main()". Is this the problem, or is it supposed to be that way?

Hope I could help...

Open the project you want to add it   Right click on the name  Then select  add in the active project  Then the cpp file will get its link to cbp

When there s no project  Code  Blocks only compiles and links the current file  That file  from your picture  is secrypt cpp  which does not have a main function  In order to compile and link both source files  you ll need to do it manually or add them to the same project    Contrary to what others are saying  using a Windows subsystem with main will still work  but there will be no console window   Your other attempt  compiling and linking just trial cpp  never links secrypt cpp  This would normally result in an undefined reference to jRegister    but you ve declared the function inside main instead of calling it  Change main to   int main         jRegister         return 0

Well I know this answer is not an experienced programmer s approach and of an Old It consultant   but it worked for me    the answer is  TRY TURNING IT ON AND OFF    restart codeblocks and it works well  reminds me of the 2006 comedy show It Crowd

You need to open the project file of your program and it should appear on Management panel  Right click on the project file  then select add file  You should add the 3 source code  secrypt h  secrypt cpp  and the trial cpp  Compile and enjoy  Hope  I could help you

You should create a new project in Code  Blocks  and make sure it s  Console Application    Add your  cpp files into the project so they are all compiled and linked together

I was interested in setting up graphics for Code Blocks when I ran into a this error   took me 2 hrs to solve it   I guess you need to have a bit of luck with this  In my case i just changed the order of contents in Settings menu- Compiler and Debugger- Global compiler settings- Linker settings- Other Linker Options  The working sequence is  -lmingw32 -lSDL -lSDLmain
