So if you've now read this twice, my appologies :) I've read the faq, and tried browsing around to try and solve my problem, but as of yet, havn't got an answer, and so I hope someone here can help. I'm trying to compile a Windows GUI based program, but GCC doesn't like compiling it. I've tried adding '-ssubsystem windows' to the command line (as is in the FAQ), but GCC complains that : GCC.EXE: windows: No such file or directory GCC.EXE: unrecognized option '-ssubsystem' And I then tried '--subsystem windows' and got GCC.EXE: windows: No such file or directory GCC.EXE: Invalid option '-fsubsystem'. I tried taking these options out all together, but then it doesn't know what lib's to use, and so i'm totally stuck... Can anyone please help me out on what the gcc command line should read to happily compile and link a native gui app? Cheers Dave P.S. Is there a doc file anywhere explaining what all the different libs are for? - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
