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 , to gnu-win32, received in 8/Feb/1998.
