Summary0011571: Does not use EXE subsystem when building GUI application with GCC for Windows
DescriptionWhen building with GCC for Windows, in makefiles generated by CMake, there is no instruction to set a subsystem. The default subsystem is console, when building a console application, it does not matter. But when I make a GUI program, it becomes console, too, and shows a console window in background when running.

For example, if user configured to use Qt with QtGui module (FindQt*.cmake), the module should add the following option to gcc command line (CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS): -Wl,-subsystem,windows.
Steps To ReproduceFindQt(REQUIRED)

Use GCC to build an application for Win32.
Additional InformationWorkaround:

IF( WIN32 )
  SET( CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS} -Wl,-subsystem,windows" )
ENDIF()

Did you add the WIN32 flag to your ADD_EXECUTABLE?
