Hi again, when I double click on a generated hxcpp.exe it opens and closes a console window. Is there a way to avoid that? I've read -D no_console is not supported anymore and the console should never show up? Thanks again!

This looks like a bug - will have to have a look.

Is there something I could do?

I gave this another go, and it seems to be working.

The logic is that this should set the 'SUBSYSTEMWINDOWS" variable:

https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/hxcpp/blob/master/toolchain/msvc-toolchain.xml#L31

which should then define "HX_WIN_MAIN" (check command line for this define)

Which should bring in WinMain from:

https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/hxcpp/blob/master/include/hx/HxcppMain.h#L76

Which then has no console by default.

If you can debug this sequence, you might be able to see where it goes wrong.
