[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] undef main when using SDL with MSVC toolchain

On windows, the SDL library headers redefine main as SDL_main, which would
break the build off ffplay since there is no entry point when linking. To
fix this, cmdutils.h includes the lines

#ifdef __MINGW32__
#undef main /* We don't want SDL to override our main() */
#endif

However, MINGW32 is not defined when doing a build with the MSVC toolchain.
This causes a linker error when trying to build ffplay using the MSVC
toolchain. The included patch adds an additional check for the MSVC
compiler and undefines main if we are using it, fixing the linker error.
