Removing console window for Glut/FreeGlut/GLFW?

Question

Under Visual C++, I have played around with Glut/FreeGlut/GLFW. It seems that everyone of these projects adds a CMD window by default. I tried removing it going under:

Answer 1

Most linkers support options that automatically remove the console startup code.

I think on GCC it's called -mwindows

Answer 2

My project just has a main, (no WinMain) and to disable console, I just set Linker->System->SubSystem to "Windows (/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS)" instead of "Console (/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE)" and the console goes away.

You don't need to mess with the Preprocessor Definitions to remove the console window.

I know my answer is a few years late, but I hope it helps.
