Hi Bill, 1. Google your keywords. 2. Google gives you some results. Not even close though. 3. Learn to rephrase your keywords and try again. 4. The answer will be on sites like StackOverflow.
For your case, I Googled with "mingw no small console window". It popped up something along the lines to "small program", "small size". OK, I don't care if the window is small enough so I get rid of "small". And the first result is which Óscar gave you. Cheers, Wesley Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.

Isn't amazing how Google will give answers when you know the right question to ask, where you can spend enormous amounts of time and frustration when you do not? Again: Thanks.
