Hi,
I am a newbie and I would like to use Atmel to write my code for the Arduino boards. I Start a new project using Arduino Sketch. It build a blank code as follow.

/*
 * Blank_Practice.ino
 *
 * Created: 12/26/2015 11:39:05 AM
 * Author: John
 */

void setup()
{

	  /* add setup code here, setup code runs once when the processor starts */

}

void loop()
{

	  /* add main program code here, this code starts again each time it ends */

}
  

Before I add to the code I wanted to see if it builds with out error. When I build the code I get the following 2 errors.
undefined reference to main
Id returned 1 exit status.
I search on line for help and so far I have not found how to resolve it. Can someone tell me what I am missing I think there is something I do not have set up right.

Thanks
John
