Trying to use QtCreator with non-QT window, without a console.

[ComServant]

My project consists of two programs - one QT, one non-QT. I want to code them both using QtCreator.

My problem: I need to make a program using QtCreator without any QT dependencies, and without a console window.

My .pro file:

#QT       += core

#            core
 
#Executable name:
TARGET = Game
#Folder to stick the executable in:
DESTDIR = "../../Bin"
 
CONFIG   -= app_bundle
 
TEMPLATE = app
 
#A custom define I'm using.
DEFINES = COMMON_USING_SFML
 
INCLUDEPATH = .......
 
LIBS = .......
 
SOURCES = \
    ........
 
HEADERS = \
    ........

Also, in the "Project" sidebar button, under "Build Settings", I added to MingW '-mwindows' command.

Here's my settings:


I really apreciate your help.

Thought: Is the console window showing up, merely because I haven't yet coded an actual window yet?

Thought 2: Did I put the '-mwindows' flag in the right spot?

I don't see why the "-m windows" option is required at all, especially since it is ignored by MingW's GNU make.

Regarding the Qt dependency:

CONFIG -= qt

CONFIG -= qt

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

suppresses Qt libraries, and:

CONFIG -= console

CONFIG -= console

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

to suppress the console on Windows (although it may be suppressed just by excluding Qt libraries). The app_bundle option only means something on Mas OS X.

Thanks, that works. Oddly, I was pretty sure I tried that previously, but I guess it required a rebuild.

Thank you!
