Yep, I am aware of that. The CLI build is the command line version. The
#ifdef I recommended was a simple test to see if it works. Then one can
another compiler define that can be set when gcc is run on windows platforms
to switch between command line GTK and GUI GTK. Just suggesting this as a
short term way to get a windows release out (CLI and GUI) quickly.

You are correct, the win32 method prevents a command console from opening
when the gui is launched (Windows users don't tolerate much do they ;-)  ) .
