Hi
I'm new in D but I used coding Delphi. I decided using D as my main
programming language because I've dumped Delphi as a consequence of its
awkwardness. Now I'm using D with Tango on the MS Windows plattform. So I
don't want to miss GUIs and I decided to use GtkD.
Actually I'm happy because I haven't got any problems creating simple
applications with that library.
But ... when I execute my application I can see my GUI and additionally an
empty commandline (the "windows terminal").
I compile my code with dsss and the dmd compiler. I've googled and found this
two links:

http://www.digitalmars.com/ctg/ctgDefFiles.html http://www.digitalmars.com/ctg/win32programming.html

But I cannot make head or tail of it.
I would be very happy if you showed me how to get rid of that commandline.
I hope you can understand my bad english.

Greetings
Fab

PS: I'm lloking foward to your answers.

Well that's a pretty strange reason to me, but I must take it that you just don't want or can't express it in any other way ;)

Please see yet another link: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/windows.html

What you mostly need is under "Windows Executables", #3 (Module definition file). You need to create the file with .def extension having the two lines provided on that page. Then you can include that file into compiler command line. After that, console should disappear.
I'm not sure the other parts on that page are relevant as I don't know how gtkD works.

Try compiling with -L/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS:

There's more advice here (it's not a GtkD forum but it might help): http://www.dsource.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3993&highlight=console

-L/subsystem:windows:4 is better, maybe that's what you meant. Optlink defaults to an older version, which means some widgets don't work properly.

Thank you. I am using
my mobile phone to
answer so it's pretty
hard. I will try your
tips later.

ps: i wanted to say
that delphi is slow
and it seems to be
old. in addition the
bindings for sdl,
allegro and so on are
bad and there are't
any free delphi
versions.

Have you checked out Lazarus/FreePascal?
