Hello, I'm cross-compiling my Go application to Windows and I'm having difficulty understanding how Windows interacts with stdout.
I'm compiling the Windows binary with the "-H=windowsgui" LD flag. This works great but I've found that the program will never print to stdout, even if the program is launched from the command prompt The alternative LD flag "-H=windows" will print to stdout but with the downside that a "DOS" window will always open, even if the program is launched from the desktop icon and even when there is no stdout activity. For the most part, compiling with "-H=windowsgui" is fine but occasionally it's useful for users to run with the program's -log option, which outputs to stdout. My solution for now is to have two Windows binaries. One for regular use and another for diagnosing problems. This is a poor solution. What I require is a single binary that can: 1) Launch from the desktop icon without a "DOS" window opening. 2) To launch from a command prompt and for stdout to be echoed to the command prompt window. Is there a Go compilation option that I've missed. Or is the solution more complex? Regards Stephen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
