hi, im fiddling around with glfw using codelite, and when i click the checkbox "this is a gui application" it doesnt remove the console as intended, are there other things i have to enable/disable to get rid of it, or is it a bug?
here is a screenshot to show it is checked, and there is indeed a console window:

The settings are you looking at are for removing the console that CodeLite wraps your executable before launching it (it is useful when writing a console application and you want CodeLite to "Stop the program before it terminates" so you can read the console output)
What you are trying to achieve is actually a link flag on Windows.
Project Settings->Linker->Linker Options and
append this:
(note the semi colon before the -mwindows)
