Problem: Running w32 program launches command prompt?

esaikku · #1 05-Aug-2005, 03:03

I writed a program that renames files and has an ugly UI.
The problem is when I run the .exe, it opens an empty Command Prompt and after that it opens the program window.

How do I get rid of that?

Editor: Eclipse CDT
Compiler: MinGW

Did you check your project settings that you have "Win32 GUI" selected instead of "Win32 Console"

I didn't find that setting in Eclipse CDT Project settings. Dev-C++ has that setting.

Can anyone tell what that setting does. So I can fix it manually. It's propably some Compiler option or etc. but I checked those too from GCC manual and didn't find anything related to that.

yes 'Win32 GUI' is the same as using gcc compiler option '-mwindows'

Thanks for the tip. It was an Linker option. Now everything works fine.
