Answer 1

As workaround you can add WinMain function from which call main:

#ifdef _WIN32
int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
    HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
    LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
    return main(__argc, __argv);
}
#endif

Answer 2

For me following this helped.

Go to properties->Linker -> System -> Sub-system and choose "not set" or "Windows"

Answer 3

I had to make the application as executable project with output type .exe Key change was changing Linker -> System -> Sub-system to Console

Answer 4

You've set the project to build as a Windows application, not a command line application. Change int main() to:

int CALLBACK WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR pCmdLine, int nCmdShow)

Or, change your project properties to be a command line application.
