Linker error undefined reference to `WinMain@16'

I have the following linker error and I suspect this has to do with linker that is being used but I don't seem to know where this problem is from. 

[Linker error] undefined reference to `WinMain@16'

I am working in Dev C++ please on windows Vista Professional machine

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    char * pointarrty = "234";
    int a = 0;

    system("PAUSE");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

From MSDN :

If you are using Unicode and MFC, you will get an unresolved external on _WinMain@16 if you don't create an entrypoint to wWinMainCRTStartup; use the /ENTRY. See Unicode Programming Summary.

To set the entry point, refer, the MSDN article
