I'm trying to build ParaView for the first time in many years on a Windows
machine with Visual Studio (using the ninja build program), and I am running
into the following linker error. It appears that the link command for
paraview.exe is failing because the symbol WinMain is not defined. (I am
listing the verbose error below at the end if this email for reference.)
The ParaView GUI should be a "windows" program (vs. a "console" program), so
defining WinMain sounds like the right thing. But I do not see where WinMain is
defined in the code. Looking at the paraview_main.cxx source file that is
generated, sure enough it defines main instead of WinMain. Am I missing
something when configuring the build?
