Re: Gtk+ and Windows

[Jan Boehm <jan boehm ifp uni-stuttgart de>]

Hi,
the code-layout below has worked well for me so far. In the Project 
settings for the linker you can switch in-between /subsystem:console or 
/subsystem:windows . For console main is called and for windows WinMain 
is called and no console appears.
This code template along with the compiler and linker options is also 
included in my GTK Application Wizard for Visual Studio at 
http://www.janboehm.de/Misc/GTK_AppWizard.zip, which creates all you 
need for a GTK Project with only one click ;)

Jan

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{

   gtk_init (&argc, &argv);

   ...
}

#ifdef WIN32
#include <windows.h>
int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
                    HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                    LPSTR     lpCmdLine,
                    int       nCmdShow )
{

   int argc = 1;
   char* prgname = "STREAM.exe";
   char** argv=&prgname;

   return main(argc, argv);

}
#endif
