- Subject: -mwindows and --Wl,subsystem,windows
According to this post on the gcc mailing list a few years back, gcc's
-mwindows option should imply --Wl,subsystem,windows:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2004-01/msg00225.html
I find, however, that I'm getting different behaviour when passing
--Wl,subsystem,windows explicitly. (Without it, stdout from mintty
opens a console, but with it, the output ends up in the mintty window
itself. No idea how the latter comes about.)
What is the intended behaviour for -mwindows, and should it be used at all?
Andy
