Your project is a WIN32 Application, which requires the entry function to be WinMain, you need to set your project to be a WIN32 Console Project.

You have to include "SDL_main.h" and link sdlmain.lib. It converts your int main(int argc,char*argv[]) function in a winmain one.
Your project must be a Win32 app project and you have to use "Multithreaded DLL" runtime library. To setup this (in VC++ 6), go to Project Settings->C/C++->Category Code Generation.

Did you link to SDL_main.lib?
