Win32 Console Executables

Is it possible to compile an executible to run as a Win32 Console Application using GCC? Specificly v3.2.3

Well, I heard it should be possible although I do not know how exactly.

I've to handle some things, and in a few hours I'll have a look for you.

Reading man gcc, I read some machine specific stuff, but being the newbie tinkering around that I am, I dared not to try (yet) but thought that may be a key.

Well, I just drank a few beers , and there should be a way to compile MFC apps in linux.

I'm a software engineer (windows, and a RISC on a DECT platform (developed by National Semiconductor)) so I'm interested too; i'll take a look for both of us!

The top and bottom one are the same link, and use MLton (another compiler) to perform the task. The other one's first page or so goes through the reason to cross-platform. I haven't got much further than that tonight but will soon. Lemme know if ye get anywhere in the meantime. Especially if it uses GCC.
