Hi, Alexey. 
May be you make an application instead of library?

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!
