How to stop a program compiled with MinGW (g++) from opening a console window in windows
I compiled a program using MinGW g++. When I run it, it opens a console window in addition to the main application window. What's the compiler flag to stop this?
I just add -mwindows
to linker flags.
I believe the compiler switch for that is -Wl,-subsystem,windows
.
The -Wl,<options>
switch passes <options>
to the linker. The -subsystem
switch tells the linker which system to target when generating the executable.
