Hi.
This is my entire program:
import std.process: system;
int main(string[] argv)
{
return system(r"bin\someprogram.exe");
}
It works but a console (from my program) apears while someprogram.exe is
running. I've read that some optlink switches are needed to make the
console
disapear. Tried the following (which I found in DM FAQ), but don't seem
to work:
dmd -L/exet:nt/su:windows loader.d resource.res
The console keeps appearing.
Do you care to give me the correct switches?
The console is appearing because of the way you are starting the child
process. I don't think the linker flags passed to the loader have any
bearing on what happens when you execute a child process.
Changes are afoot to std.process, we recently got a blocker fixed (not yet
in svn, but someone submitted a correct patch) so I can finish my Windows
version. This will include a 'gui' flag that allows you to suppress the
console. I don't know if the gui flag will be available on the 'system'
function, but you should be able to easily run a program with the new
std.process functions.
