Hi People, >IMHO, if the current process is a GUI application, >the spawned process (if it is a console application) >should be created with CREATE_NO_WINDOW set >in dwCreationFlags in the call to CreateProcess( ): Could someone from the list do me a favor? Could you throw together an SWT program and gcj build scripts which has a main window and a button which, when pushed launches a console application? If you do that, I'll get to this faster. Here is Ranjit's Swing program as a reference: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2003-09/msg00051.html Thanks in advance. P.S. My offer to put out a gcj build as soon as someone makes a Makefile for my samples still stands: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2003-10/msg00159.html There are lots of mouth-watering enhancements waiting for your Makefile: - http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/2003-q4/msg00122.html - http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/2003-q4/msg00154.html - http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/2003-q4/msg00224.html - http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/2003-q4/msg00253.html - http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/2003-q4/msg00257.html -- Mohan http://www.thisiscool.com/ http://www.animalsong.org/
