+# Fixing the Entry Point 1
+
+Access the directory `drills/tasks/entry-fix-1/support/`.
+We want to track issues with defining the `main()` function.
+
+Go to the subdirectory `a-c/`.
+Run the `make` command, interpret the encountered error, and resolve it by editing the `hello.c` file.
+
+Go to the subdirectory `b-asm/`.
+Run the `make` command, interpret the encountered error, and resolve it by editing the `hello.asm` file.
+
+**Bonus**: In the subdirectories `c-extra-nolibc/` and `d-extra-libc/`, find solutions that do not modify the source code of `hello.c`.
+These solutions instead modify the build system to use a different function, other than `main()`, as the program's entry point.
+
+If you're having difficulties solving this exercise, go through [this](../../../reading/README.md) reading material.
