title: Compiling a Win32 GUI app (without a console) using MinGW and Eclipse
body: <p>I'm using the eclipse IDE with MinGW as my compiler, to make a Win32 GUI app. </p>
  
  <p>I want to get rid of the console, but compiling the program with <code>-mwindows</code> option has no effect and the console is still there.</p>
  
  <p>Using the <code>-Wl,--subsystem,windows</code> flag also produces no effect. What am I doing wrong ?</p>
