Add static library to CLR Windows Forms Project, Get "unresolved external symbol _MAIN__"

Question

I've reduced this issue to, with Visual Studio 2005, in Release mode:

• Create a new Windows Forms app
• Change to /CLR

Check that the default Form1 runs

• Add one static library (which itself is linked with BLAS.lib, clapack.lib, libf2c.lib)

Then I compile and link and get

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol MAIN_ referenced in function _main

If I remove

[STAThreadAttribute] int main(array ^args) { ... }

and replace with

int main() { ... }

it compiles and links and runs Form1 from a console

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks, Daniel
