[ros-kernel] '-Wl,--subsystem,windows' didnt work for making gui only app

[Steven E. <Ste...@kn...>]

Hey Eric, I changed the lines in the Makefile of the programs but the
programs still spawn a console window on load. These were all winelib
programs so do I need to change something else in the code?

Oooops, I guess this is my fault. I started progman from the command
line
only, so I didn't realize that it is still a console app. To make
progman a
gui app, you have to add '-Wl,--subsystem,windows' to the linker run.
The
fixed makfile rule to build progman is:

progman.exe: $(OBJECTS)
 $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -Wl,--subsystem,windows $(OBJECTS) $(LIBS) -o
progman.exe
 $(NM) --numeric-sort progman.exe > progman.sym

If you port the Wine comctl32 to ReactOS you have to be aware of the
fact
that some controls - mainly listview, treeview, rebar and toolbar - are
still under construction and major rewrites will happen in the future.
Treeview and listview don't handle unicode messages yet and adding
unicode
support results in a major rewrite of these controls. If you fix any
bugs in
the common controls, please make sure you submit patches to the Wine
project
too.
