Visual Studio 11 compile error

[Jack Black]

HI, I'm using this tutorial: http://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/les...010e/index.php to build a C++ project and I'm getting these errors:
Error 1 error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _WinMainCRTStartup C:\Users\Colin\documents\visual studio 11\Projects\SDL_tutorial\SDL_tutorial\LINK SDL_tutorial


Error 2 error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals C:\Users\Colin\documents\visual studio 11\Projects\SDL_tutorial\Debug\SDL_tutorial.exe 1 1 SDL_tutorial

Here is the code for main.cpp, which is the only source file in the project so far...

#include "SDL.h"
 
int main( int argc, char* args[] ) {
 
    //Start SDL
    SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING ); 
    //Quit SDL SDL_Quit(); return 0; 
}

I can't believe that tutorial is right,

For an console application using main the subsystem should be console

When the subsystem is set to Windows the entry point should be WinMain (not main)

That tutorial conflicts with this.

What has happened is that you have created a Win32 project. This is for writing Windows programs.

Do this:
1) Create a Win32 project.
2) When the wizard appears do not click finish.
3) Instead, click application settings.
4) Set Console Application and Empty project.
5) Now click finish.
