linking confusion

Mon May 11 23:07:00 GMT 1998

I'm having trouble with linking (first program, using example code), and
found in the docs,
"The regular setup allows you to use the option -mwindows on the command
line to include a set of the basic libraries (and also make your program
a GUI program instead of a console program), including user32, gdi32
and, IIRC, comdlg32."
So says the documentation, but gcc and ld both complain that -mwindows
isn't a valid option. So what command line is this talking about?

For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to
"gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
