No command shell, please.

I have just installed gtkmm and I have compiled my first program, I don't know if this happens in UNIX, but in MS-Win there is always a command shell window that pops up just before the application starts, how can I change that?

TIA

I don't know if this will help, because I don't use GTKmm.
However, I've noticed those DOS boxes pop up when using GTK with other languages.
I believe that GTK is trying to report a warning message, so the DOS box is opened,
but for some reason, no error text appears.
Most often this seems to be caused by missing fonts, perhaps other errors could cause similar problems.

To forcefully repress any console-message of gtk-apps you have to do something like this (preferablely in your main.cpp):

Code:

void dummy_handler (const gchar *log_domain, GLogLevelFlags log_level, const gchar *message, gpointer user_data)
{
    return;
}

Then in your initialization code in main.cpp add a new log-handler for every message you want to repress. Here is a bunch that disables the most common ones afaik:

Code:

    g_log_set_handler (NULL,
                       (GLogLevelFlags) (G_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR |
                                         G_LOG_LEVEL_CRITICAL |
                                         G_LOG_LEVEL_WARNING |
                                         G_LOG_LEVEL_MESSAGE |
                                         G_LOG_LEVEL_INFO |
                                         G_LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG |
                                         G_LOG_FLAG_FATAL |
                                         G_LOG_FLAG_RECURSION),
                       dummy_handler,
                       NULL);

    g_log_set_handler ("Gdk",
                       (GLogLevelFlags) (G_LOG_LEVEL_MASK |
                                         G_LOG_FLAG_FATAL |
                                         G_LOG_FLAG_RECURSION),
                       dummy_handler,
                       NULL);

    g_log_set_handler ("Gtk",
                       (GLogLevelFlags) (G_LOG_LEVEL_MASK |
                                         G_LOG_FLAG_FATAL |
                                         G_LOG_FLAG_RECURSION),
                       dummy_handler,
                       NULL);

    g_log_set_handler ("GLib",
                       (GLogLevelFlags) (G_LOG_LEVEL_MASK |
                                         G_LOG_FLAG_FATAL |
                                         G_LOG_FLAG_RECURSION),
                       dummy_handler,
                       NULL);

    g_log_set_handler ("GLib-GObject",
                       (GLogLevelFlags) (G_LOG_LEVEL_MASK |
                                         G_LOG_FLAG_FATAL |
                                         G_LOG_FLAG_RECURSION),
                       dummy_handler,
                       NULL);

    g_log_set_handler ("GModule",
                       (GLogLevelFlags) (G_LOG_LEVEL_MASK |
                                         G_LOG_FLAG_FATAL |
                                         G_LOG_FLAG_RECURSION),
                       dummy_handler,
                       NULL);

    g_log_set_handler ("GThread",
                       (GLogLevelFlags) (G_LOG_LEVEL_MASK |
                                         G_LOG_FLAG_FATAL |
                                         G_LOG_FLAG_RECURSION),
                       dummy_handler,
                       NULL);

I hope that helps.

Best regards...
