Title: Where to turn off -mwindows switch?
Post by: lucky7456969 on April 13, 2014, 01:40:28 pm

Hi there,
Just wondering where I can turn off the -mwindows switch for mingw64?
There is a link time error and the compiler is seeking for WinMain where I am building a console application.
Thanks
Jack

Project -> Properties -> Build targets -> your target -> Type -> Console application (probably it is set to native or gui)

Hi oBFusCATed,
My scenario is a bit strange.
I tried both GUI and console,
But the compiler is giving me the same message, I've saved the project

Code

d:\mingw64\bin\..\lib\gcc\x86_64-w64-mingw32\4.7.2\..\..\..\..\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib\..\lib\libmingw32.a(lib64_libmingw32_a-crt0_c.o)||In function `main':|

Inspect the Build log not Build messages.... it might give you more clues.

Did you do something stupid like add it to the global compiler settings?

I got it, it was because I included the UNICODE switch in my Linker settings
Thanks
