7.4.3 CONSOLE and WINDOWS subsystems

There are two main subsystems under Windows. The CONSOLE subsystem (which is the default subsystem) always creates a console when launching the application. This is not something desirable when the application has a Windows GUI. To remove this console, your application must use the WINDOWS subsystem. To do so, you must specify the -mwindows linker switch.

$ gnatmake winprog -largs -mwindows
