digitalmars.D.learn - Working Windows GUI library - no console Window

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.
