Is there a windowed setting option for the Go compiler?

console, go, gtk, windows

Solution

`-ldflags` 'flag list' arguments to pass on each 5l, 6l, or 8l linker invocation

Compile packages and dependencies

`-Hwindowsgui` (only in 6l/8l) Write Windows PE32+ GUI binaries

Command ld

Add `-ldflags -Hwindowsgui` to the `go build/get/install` command line. For example,

go build -ldflags="-Hwindowsgui" gtkapp.go

Problem

I'm using Go (6g) to compile a GTK application and I want to know if there is a compiler/linker option to make it a Windows executable as opposed to console executable. MinGW has a -mwindows option for this and currently I'm having to manually alter the PE header with a hex editor which is annoying.
