Are you building yourself?

Just add the -mwindows flag to the linker command line and the console
will go away.

I believe it will also stop any debugging output from the console (if
you do run it from cmd.exe).

A quick grep reveals we set the "MINGW_GUI_LDFLAGS", but we don't
actually include it from any of our GUI applications, there is a
"thinko", and we use the variable "MINGW_GUI_CFLAGS", which is
incorrect:

pcjc2@pcjc2lap:~/gedasrc/git$ grep MINGW_GUI_LDFLAGS *  -R --include "Makefile\.am"
pcjc2@pcjc2lap:~/gedasrc/git$ grep MINGW_GUI_CFLAGS *  -R --include "Makefile\.am"
gattrib/src/Makefile.am:	$(MINGW_CFLAGS) $(MINGW_GUI_CFLAGS) \
gschem/src/Makefile.am:	$(MINGW_CFLAGS) $(MINGW_GUI_CFLAGS) \

pcjc2@pcjc2lap:~/gedasrc/git$ grep MINGW_GUI_LDFLAGS m4/*  -R 
m4/geda-windows.m4:      MINGW_GUI_LDFLAGS=-mwindows
m4/geda-windows.m4:  AC_SUBST(MINGW_GUI_LDFLAGS)
pcjc2@pcjc2lap:~/gedasrc/git$ grep MINGW_GUI_CFLAGS m4/*  -R 


Fixing up the Makefiles to add $(MINGW_GUI_LDFLAGS) to the
gschem_LDFLAGS variables should fix the issue. (And similar for
gattrib).
