int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {

Answer 1

I have found that setting /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE is only half of the solution. The second half is to add SDL_MAIN_HANDLED to your additional defines. The clue I used to resolve this can be found in SDL_main.h. Setting SDL_MAIN_HANDLED tell the SDL header files that you've already provided a main function and do not wish for it to redefine its own entry point.
