Sets the executable subsystem

Syntax

-s< subsystem >`

`

Parameters

subsystem

The executable subsystem: gui or console.

Description

The -s compiler option specifies the executable subsystem. Allowed subsystems are gui and console (by default, console is used). Specifying a gui subsystem prevents the console window from appearing behind the program window.

The intrinsic macro __FB_GUI__ is set to non-zero (-1) if the option with gui as subsystem was specified, and set to zero (0) otherwise.

Platform Differences

• Supported on Windows and Cygwin only.
