#2460: provide -mwindows option like gcc
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
Reporter: jvl | Owner:
Type: feature request | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: Compiler
Version: 6.8.2 | Severity: normal
Keywords: | Testcase:
Architecture: Unknown | Os: Windows
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
provide a command line option -mwindows (aka main windows) to compile and
link the code as a windows executable (i.e. WinMain). This is mearly a
matter of passing through the option to gcc and would be trivial to
implement. see #2459 for full discussion.
Why Bother ?
To enahnce "User Friendliness" and encourage gui users on win32 aka
wxHaskell and Gtk2Hs users to produce application with "Native" look and
feel.
