And I guess this also means that people who preferred to have two
lyx.bat files for two languages, cannot do it anymore.
There was a hidecmd.c wrapper in development/Win32 to hide the console
window without any flashing.
I don't know if anything changed in this domain recently but if I set
the SubSystem to "Windows (/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS)" as opposed to "Console
(/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE)" I don't see anymore the flashing console.
Peter?
Yes, for a windows application /subystem:windows is the correct setting
(it's a linker option.) But then when texing the console windows pops up,
I assume that this could also be suppressed.
This comment in os_win32.C from Angus should help. I guess there is no
problem going this road because we don't use shell script anymore.
/* Note from Angus, 17 Jan 2005:
*
* The code below is taken verbatim from Ruurd's original patch
* porting LyX to Win32.
*
* Windows allows us to define LyX either as a console-based app
* or as a GUI-based app. Ruurd decided to define LyX as a
* console-based app with a "main" function rather than a "WinMain"
* function as the point of entry to the program, but to
* immediately close the console window that Windows helpfully
* opens for us. Doing so allows the user to see all of LyX's
* debug output simply by running LyX from a DOS or MSYS-shell
* prompt.
*
* The alternative approach is to define LyX as a genuine
* GUI-based app, with a "WinMain" function as the entry point to the
* executable rather than a "main" function, so:
*
* #if defined (_WIN32)
* # define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
* # include <stdlib.h> // for __argc, __argv
* # include <windows.h> // for WinMain
* #endif
*
* // This will require the "-mwindows" flag when linking with
* // gcc under MinGW.
* // For MSVC, use "/subsystem:windows".
* #if defined (_WIN32)
* int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int)
* {
* return mymain(__argc, __argv);
* }
* #endif
*
* where "mymain" is just a renamed "main".
*
* However, doing so means that the lyxerr messages would mysteriously
* disappear. They could be resurrected with something like:
*
* #ifdef WIN32
* AllocConsole();
* freopen("conin$","r",stdin);
* freopen("conout$","w",stdout);
* freopen("conout$","w",stderr);
* #endif
*
* This code could be invoked (say) the first time that lyxerr
* is called. However, Ruurd has tried this route and found that some
* shell scripts failed, for mysterious reasons...
*
* I've chosen for now, therefore, to simply add Ruurd's original
* code as-is. A wrapper program hidecmd.c has been added to
* development/Win32 which hides the console window of lyx when
* lyx is invoked as a parameter of hidecmd.exe.
