Hi all,
I'm porting my GTK application to Windows (MinGW with gcc), and am
finding it impossible to get rid of the "DOS box" windows console that
appears when the program is launched.
Seen lots of posts recommending using the "-mwindows" flag, and others
recommending also capturing/redirecting log output.
Doing all of that, but still no luck.
After wasting many, many hours trying every suggestion Google-able
(really), I then tried to make just a very basic GTK app that wouldn't
open a DOS box. Still no luck. (Ugh!)
Can anyone see what might be wrong in the following?
*************
// This is the cut-to-nothing program stub that still opens a console
// GTK includes
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <windows.h>
void nullout(const char *str)
{
// might want to save these logs to a file
}
void your_logger(const gchar *log_domain, GLogLevelFlags log_level,
const gchar *message, gpointer user_data)
{
// Do here what you want with your warning messages
}
// The main program loop
gint main(gint argc, gchar *argv[])
{
GtkWidget *main_window;
gtk_init(&__argc, &__argv);
g_set_print_handler( nullout );
g_set_printerr_handler( nullout );
g_log_set_handler (NULL, G_LOG_LEVEL_MASK | G_LOG_FLAG_FATAL |
G_LOG_FLAG_RECURSION, your_logger, NULL);
g_log_set_handler ("Gdk", G_LOG_LEVEL_MASK | G_LOG_FLAG_FATAL |
G_LOG_FLAG_RECURSION, your_logger, NULL);
g_log_set_handler ("Gtk", G_LOG_LEVEL_MASK | G_LOG_FLAG_FATAL |
G_LOG_FLAG_RECURSION, your_logger, NULL);
g_log_set_handler ("GLib", G_LOG_LEVEL_MASK | G_LOG_FLAG_FATAL |
G_LOG_FLAG_RECURSION, your_logger, NULL);
g_log_set_handler ("GModule", G_LOG_LEVEL_MASK | G_LOG_FLAG_FATAL |
G_LOG_FLAG_RECURSION, your_logger, NULL);
g_log_set_handler ("GLib-GObject", G_LOG_LEVEL_MASK | G_LOG_FLAG_FATAL
| G_LOG_FLAG_RECURSION, your_logger, NULL);
g_log_set_handler ("GThread", G_LOG_LEVEL_MASK | G_LOG_FLAG_FATAL |
G_LOG_FLAG_RECURSION, your_logger, NULL);
// Start up the GUI part of things
main_window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
// Display the main window
gtk_widget_show_all(main_window);
gtk_main();
exit(0);
}

And the compilation stuff:

When I run flame-edit.exe, voila a blank default-sized GTK window pops
up, as does a DOS box (AAARGGH!).
Suggestions?
