Hi Jsoncraig,

Don't know, what happend here, because gcc should complain about "no
input files", if you really used exactly the above mentioned command.
-o normally specifies the *output* file, but nevertheless in your case
the file.cpp should still exist.
Besides that, -mwindows ist not a switch for the compiler, but for the
linker - unfortunately.
