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. ismaelj@hotmail.com --------------------------------------------------------- Get Your *Web-Based* Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com --------------------------------------------------------- - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
