Writing Gstreamer plugin in Visual Studio

[Alexey]

I’m trying to write a Gstreamer plugin in Visual Studio 2010.

First, I downloaded GStreamer package for Windows from
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/download/.

Then, I’ve added required property sheets and removed the dependency with
the Visual Studio runtime as described in
http://docs.gstreamer.com/display/GstSDK/Installing+on+Windows. I believe
that my Visual Studio SDK is set up correctly because I successfully built
some examples from Gstreamer Application Development Manual.

Now, my other goal is to write my own plugins. The Plugin Writer’s Guide
describes how to construct the boilerplate in Unix/Linux. I've downloaded
gst plugin templates from

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-tmeplate.git

The guide makes use of make_element utility that creates the boilerplate. I
followed the instructions but this utility doesn't work on Windows.

So I added "gstplugin.c" and "gstplugin.h" to my Visual Studio project as
is. I noticed that “gstplugin.c” doesn’t have main function, what is the
program’s entry point then?

When I try to build the sample plugin as is (I didn't change
templates "gstplugin.c" and "gstplugin.h") I get the following link error:

>msvcrt.lib(crtexe.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol main

How can I write a Gstreamer plugin in Visual Studio? Also, How can I build
it?  I'm struggling to find good instructions on how to do this. Thanks!
