How can I fix all these undefineds in SDL2main.lib? - c++

Question

Trying to configure SDL2 with VS Code (BTW someone should make a Youtube video on how to do this it's taken me a week and a half so far) and I thought I was almost done when these lovely errors popped up:

This is what my tasks.json file looks like:

What am I doing to get all these errors? What must I fix about SDL2main.lib? An answer would make me very happy :)
