====== Console-less Applications ======

When running a compiled Orx application, a terminal console window will also open (not to be confused with the [[en:tutorials:config:guide_to_the_orx_console|Orx Console]]). This does not have anything to do with Orx so much, as the operating system and method of compile.

This page lists the various ways to remove the console, mainly for applications when packaging for release.


===== Windows / Visual Studio =====

Right click project ''Properties'': Linker / System / SubSystem (change ''Console'' to ''Windows'')

===== Windows / gmake =====

For mingw32, add the ''-mwindows'' linker flag.



===== Mac OSX, Windows / Codelite =====

Change the project setting: ''General / This Program is a GUI application'' = True


===== Mac OSX / Code::Blocks =====

Pending. Options exist, but don't appear to work correctly.
