hi,
i like to use a window gui library and i think i found a working one.

https://github.com/FrankLIKE/dfl2  - works with x64

the problem is, that with DMD 2.069.0, VS2015 and visualD the trick of using "-L/SUBSYSTEM:windows,6.00 -L/ENTRY:mainCRTStartup" does not suppress the console window anymore.

does anybody have a solution for that problem?
is anybody still working on that library?

Have a look at the resultant executable header with a tool like objdump / pebrowse. In the header somewhere there is a field that specifies the subsystem type. It should be set to gui, rather than console.


IMAGE_SUBSYSTEM_WINDOWS_GUI

Same problem here. I had to remove the mainCRTStartup flag and use WinMain as my entry point.

me too. i need to start a main(), since the lib will not work with a starting WinMain.
