Thanks Jonathon, is that supposed to be in the linker or the compiler
command?

I'm afraid I have no idea since I don't develop on windows.  I just know that the question has been asked many, many times, so i have the -mwindows option memorized.  You'll have to do some investigation on your own, I think.

Addendum
~~~~~~~~~

Jonanthon, I am using Code::Blocks and in the linker and the compiler
parameters' box I added the parameter you suggested, but it has not
change anything?!
This must be a problem with the IDE and not the compiler, I hope!
What is your input on this?

As I already mentioned, I do not develop on windows and have no idea about your IDE.  You'll probably just have to wait for somebody else who knows something about windows or try to solve it on your own.

Hi, I've noticed that you use Code::Blocks, but I never used it.
I use Visual Studio and I will tell you how I enable and disable the dos
console window. So you can compare with your IDE options:
In my project property I go to Linker -> System options page, here I
have a field called SubSystem:
To enable I put: Console (/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE)
To Disable I put: Windows (/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS)
This is the best I can do for you,

Filipe Apóstolo

Hello,

If I'm not mistaken, the C::B shows console when you build the project
in Debug mode. The Release version should work well.

Thanks,
Vest

-mwindows is a gcc option that tells to create Win GUI application. As
I know, it has been deprecated, but I'm not sure.
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.4.2/gcc/i386-and-x86_002d64-Windows-Options.html#i386-and-x86_002d64-Windows-Options.
Also, try searching in `gcc -v --help` output, it will be helpful too.

Hi Jamiil,

As others have said, this is a feature of Windows. A PE binary with subsystem "console" is different from one with subsystem "windows".

I use Code::Blocks on both Linux and Windows. I have had this problem in the past, but happily there is a quick solution, at least in Code::Blocks version 8.02.

1. Go to Project Management (the treeview on the left) and find the problem project. Find the line with the Code::Blocks icon. It's probably called "MyProject" or something. Now right click the text or the icon on that line.
2. Go to "Properties". Note: *not* "Build Options".
3. Click the second tab, "Build targets".
4. For each build target (select on the left), change the "Type" option to "GUI application".
5. Click "ok".

Now build and run the project. You shouldn't see any console window at all.

HtH,
Adam J Richardson
