Hi,

Can you think of any way to determine if the executable requires the hidden console window to work at runtime? It would be great if this code could be integrated into mintty somehow..

some ideas:

  • check PE header if it has CONSOLE flag set.
  • check Import Address Table if cygwin1.dll or msys-1.0.dll exists, if none exists, it will not be cygwin/msys executable.

This would actually be something to be integrated into cygwin, not mintty, see

Thanks for closing.
Actually, this feature is now included unconditionally since cygwin 3.1.0 and will be available by proper detection from cygwin 3.2.0.
