Windows has a flag that determines whether an application
runs in the foreground with a console or in the background
without a console. Use the "-mwindows" option to make your
application run in the background and "-mconsole" to run in

without a console.
If you're using gcc (i.e. MinGW or Cygwin), then use the
linker option "-mwindows" to make your application run in
the background and "-mconsole" to run in the foreground. Use
fltk-config --ldflags to see appropriate linker flags, or use
fltk-config --compile to compile a single source file.
If you're using MS VC++, then you must set the linker option
"/subsystem:windows" to create a "Windows" program (w/o console
window), or set the linker option "/subsystem:console" for a
console program, i.e. with a console window. These options
are set differently in the FLTK project files, depending on
whether you select a "Debug" or "Release" build.
Other compilers and build systems may have different options.
Keep in mind that a windows application cannot send output
to stdout, even if you run it from an existing console
