Hello Wolfgang.
To create a console executable you use, say:
gcc -o some_exec some_obj_1.o some_obj_2.o
To create a console-free, GUI executable, you append
-W1,--subsystem,windows,-e,_mainCRTStartup
to the end of the previous command line.
Sometimes you'll need Win32 API functions available only in GDI and USER
Windows modules. In that case, you should use
-luser32 -lgdi32 -W1,--subsystem,windows,-e,_mainCRTStartup
That is, before appending the GUI suffix, you prefix it with the libraries.
OBS.: based on a previous message by Axel Riese
<Axel.Riese@risc.uni-linz.ac.at>, to gnu-win32, received in 8/Feb/1998.
