Title: [VS2010] How do you get rid of the console window?
Post by: Prominence256 on January 27, 2011, 01:08:40 am

I've successfully made a screen saver with VS2010. It works great, but when it opens the console appears just before the RenderWindow does, and it closes just after the RenderWindow. I want to get rid of that console window.

I've tried going into the project's properties and changing Configuration Properties -> Linker -> System -> SubSystem to Windows. However, when I tell it to compile I get this error in the file MSVCRT.lib(crtexew.obj)

How would you do this in CSFML, since there is no csfml-main.lib anywhere?

Just use the C++ one. There's no actual C++ code that you will use.
