To compile a program for the windows subsystem, you have to do only two things:

a) include the libraries you will use in the command line. The common windows
stuff is included in KERNEL32.DLL, USER32.DLL and GDI32.DLL, wich are
automaticaly included with the -mwindows option Other libraries, such advapi or
tapi must be in the command line explicitely.

b)If you don't want (and who would?) a console window to appear whit your
windows program you have to include the option --subsystem windows (not
--ssubsystem windows).

and that´s all.
