digitalmars.D.learn - Hide console of gui program coded by gtkD

Hello.

I have a question about how to hide a console window.

http://pds23.egloos.com/pds/201212/10/80/e0088180_50c5e3b1bb789.png

This simple application is made by using gtkD and glade3. As you 
can see from picture above, console window pops up and doesn't 
disappear. When I close the console window, gui window also 
disappears. I also made a simple gui application without glade3, 
but it also showed console window. How can I hide this annoying 
console window?

Regards.

Make a .def file and include it on your dmd command line.

The file only needs these two lines:

EXETYPE NT
SUBSYSTEM WINDOWS


Call it foo.def, recompile with it on the dmd command line, and 
you should be in business.

If you want to learn more about def files:

But those two lines I gave are all you need for the console 
problem.

Thanks. That should do the trick.

Anyway, I have another question.

does all the irksome things to be considered. Apprently not 
knowing C language, there're a lot of trivial things(Actually not 
trivial) like this that is not about programming logic but about 
language minor specification(Actually not minor).

Not trivial, important, not minor, major. Anyway, what I'm trying 
to say is that is there any good start points to make experiences 
with D language to build a real-world application using GUI? I 
finished studying "Programming in D" by Ali Çehreli and that was 
quite good. But not for me.

Anyway, thanks for your reply. Have a nice day :)

I think D is in need of documentation of that sort. Books like "D for 
FooLang programmers" would be very interesting.

I am very happy that you've read it. :)

As has been discussed on these forums before, that book has been an 
interesting exercise in teaching programming. In the end, the book may 
end up requiring too much patience from the reader though: It is very 
strict on the principle that no D feature should be used before being 
explained in the book itself.

That decision necessarily pushed many useful D idioms to the end of the 
book. (But to be fair, the book pre-dates some of the cool features of D 
like ranges, parallelism and concurrency, UFCS, the shorthand lambda 
syntax, the new operator overloading syntax, etc.)

So yes, there must be lots of articles and books that concentrate on 
practical D programming.

It happens because in windows you should tell linker that 
executable should belong to windows subsystem. Normally one have 
to specify appropriate optlink options 
(http://digitalmars.com/ctg/ctgLinkSwitches.html#subsystem), but 
I used PE tools to patch the binary.

Pass the following argument to dmd

$ dmd.exe -L/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS gtkd_app.d

I am using this parameters in command line:
