Summary

0011571: Does not use EXE subsystem when building GUI application with GCC for Windows

Description

When building with GCC for Windows, in makefiles generated by CMake, there is no instruction to set a subsystem. The default subsystem is console, when building a console application, it does not matter. But when I make a GUI program, it becomes console, too, and shows a console window in background when running.

For example, if user configured to use Qt with QtGui module (FindQt*.cmake), the module should add the following option to gcc command line (CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS): -Wl,-subsystem,windows.

Steps To Reproduce

FindQt(REQUIRED)

Use GCC to build an application for Win32.

Additional Information

Workaround:

IF( WIN32 )
SET( CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS} -Wl,-subsystem,windows" )
ENDIF()
