I've just been wrestling with related stuff. Getting programs to start
without console blink caused me to build them as Win32 apps (w/ WinMain).
If I spawn them from bash (by typing in the name of the executable at the
prompt), I can't see a way to print anything to the console. I can't get
any combination of GetStartupInfo, GetStdHandle, CreateFile("CONOUT$"), and
WriteConsole to work under pre- or post-NT. I always get Access Denied
message (GetLastError() = 5). If only for --help and --version, it would be
nice.
Anyone know the way to get bash to set bInheritHandles to true when it
spawns my process?
Thanks much.
