Command line options

Command line options

[GBradfor]

     I have been reading over the README file that comes along with the 
     cygwin32 package, particularly the part on "How to Write a GUI 
     Application."  As the reader knows, this section lists all of the 
     libraries that might possibly need to be included to support the SDK.  
     Also, it states that the command line option "--subsystem,windows" 
     should be used.
     
     Now, I realize that this is VERY similar to the VC++ option 
     "SUBSYSTEM:windows."  However, I have looked through all the 
     documentation I can find at the Cygnus site and have not been able to 
     find this option (or the listed libraries) documented anywhere.  Where 
     should I REALLY be looking?
     
     While we're on the subject, VC++ supports an option "-MT" for 
     compiling multithreaded applications.  Is there something similar for 
     gcc?
     
     Thanks for your patience.

-MT just links with the multi threaded vc++ libs, see win32.mak
in the Platform SDK and the headers for docs on this.

--subsystem windows is the ld.exe command line option.

This can be passed to ld.exe (the linker) by gcc.exe (the compiler driver) by putting
-Wl,--subsystem,windows on the gcc command line
note the use of , instead of space.

the best ? option to use is -mwindows	(libuser32.a) 	(libgui32.a)
this will automatically pass --subsystem windows -luser32 and -lgui32
to the linker.

Geoff, could we get this changed to -windows
-m gets misread by cpp as a processor spec, which
makes -mwindows unless for -I options in specs.

Use the source luke. ;^)
