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. > >Thanks >Jason Bye.
