trying to set subsystem via cli

[stav]

Hi,
im trying to setup a cli environment for my win32 application, but im getting this wired error.

my folder structure looks like this:

project>
   src>
      mainer.cpp
   build>
      main.exe
   tools>
      build.bat
      run.bat

my mainer.cpp looks like this:

#include <windows.h>
#include <cstdio>

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR pCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
	printf("test from winmain\n");
	MessageBoxA(NULL,"test","test",MB_OK);
	return 0;
}

and my build.bat looks like this:

@echo off

pushd ..\build\
cl ..\src\*.cpp /Fe"main.exe" /Zi user32.lib
popd

when i build and then run it from my console (by just typing "main.exe"), i see the message box, but it doesn't print anything to the console?

so i thought it was because i needed to change the subsystem to console, so i went back in to my build.bat and edited it.
it now looks like this:

@echo off

pushd ..\build\
cl ..\src\*.cpp /Fe"main.exe" /Zi user32.lib /link /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE
popd

problem is, when i try and build it now i get this wired error:
LIBCMT.lib(exe_main.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function "int __cdecl __scrt_common_main_seh(void)" (?__scrt_common_main_seh@@YAHXZ)

i would really appreciate it if someone could tell me what im doing wrong

In a Windows application WinMain is the entry point. To use the console you need to allocate one with
AllocConsole https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/allocconsole

If you specify SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE then main in the entry point and not WinMain
