console that I get every time I launch the program. I thought that passing the
-WA argument to DMC would solve the issue, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
I still get the console, with or without the option.

Is there something else that I'm missing here?

Note that there is output in the console, caused by libraries used by the
program, but I don't think they would make the console appear by themselves
(anything in stdout should simply be dropped).

For one, it's '-L/' and not '-L' (otherwise it's a path to a custom linker). But
even then, it didn't compile with both of these commands, throwing this strange
message:



However, by trial and error I found out that passing only "-L/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS"
did the trick!
