Re: Console-free EXE with Mingw32

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.
