Error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function _WinMain@16

Hi, all!
I have Qt 5.4.0 for visual studio 2013 32 bit.
I have Qt add-in 1.2.4.
I have Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate + Update 4 (12.031101.00)

I have a simple Qt app.
.pro file:
@QT += core gui widgets

TARGET = splitter_qt_creator
TEMPLATE = app

SOURCES += main.cpp@

main.cpp file:
@#include <QApplication>
#include <QSplitter>
#include <QTextEdit>

int mian(int argc, char* argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);

QSplitter* pMainSplitter = new QSplitter;
...
pMainSplitter->show();

return a.exec(&#41;;

}
@
Unfortunately when I try to build the solution, the error appears:
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function _WinMain@16

I've tried to apply "hot-fix" - remove value related to "/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS" from project properties->linker->command line->additonal options.
but atm the value is not an additional option.
additional options are:
"/MANIFESTDEPENDENCY:type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' publicKeyToken='...' language='' processorArchitecture=''"

Who can help me?

It seems you create new project as Console application but your code is Win32.

check it, plz

if you mean I should remove QT += core, it doesn't help.

Hi, check the name of your main function. You did a mistype

@int mian(int argc, char* argv[])@

it's named mian so the linker can not find the main function.
