The starting pitcher must complete at least 5 innings of pitching and leave the game with the lead that his team never loses.
Example 1: Pitcher completes 5 innings, leading 1-0 and his team wins 2-0. He is the winning pitcher.
Example 2: Pitcher completes 5 innings, leading 1-0 and his team gives up the lead (either tying or falling behind). He gets no decision.
Example 3: Pitcher completes 5 innings, puts a runner on base in the 6th inning. Pitcher is removed with a 1-0 lead. The runner on base is allowed to score by the relief pitcher.
No decision for starting pitcher.

He has to get through the 5th inning. Leaving before that, he can only get a no-decision or loss.

Five innings for a standard nine-inning game.
Four innings if the game is shortened (rain or whatever) to five innings.
