Extra console window when cross-compiling

[Сергей Коныгин]

Hi!

I'm trying to use a cross-compiler i686-w64-mingw32 to build my Windows project (Debian 12, wxWidgets 3.3.1). But there was a some problem.

When you start the program, an additional console window appears. When compiling under Windows, everything is fine. There is only the main program window.

Is this related to the cross-compiler itself or am I configuring wxWidgets incorrectly?

Hi,

When building you code append “-windows” option.

Thank you.

Thanks!

Please clarify, should this option be added when compiling my application, wxWidgets or both?

Using -mwindows solved the problem.

Your app should be enough.

Thank you.
