Right-click on the project, select "Properties", and in the "Targets" tab, select "Console Application" for the value "Type" (top right corner).

Ah yes, I forgot about that... my bad.
This is a SDL feature, I don't know how to turn it off right now, but it is documented somewhere. I think you have to change only one #define and recompile or something...
EDIT: There it is: rebuild with NO_STDIO_REDIRECT defined when compiling src/main/SDL_main.c :)

Fero: alternatively, if you don't want to rebuild SDL, put this at the very beggining of main():
