Hi Andreas, as far as I know, your only chance to achieve this is by modifying your source code by adding
#ifndef NDEBUG #pragma comment(linker, "/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE") #endif Using add_executable(... win32 ...) is correct because the pragma statement will override the behaviour in debug mode (in my example in all but release builds) I hope this helps.
