Seems -mwindows is only for gcc, does cl has a similar option?

A:
That would probably the /subsystem option to the linker
Specifically /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS
It allows you to choose between compiling a console application and a windows application by setting a flag in the PE header

@Runner It is documented as a linker option. You probably must tell `cl` to pass the option to the linker.

I googled "cl options" and one of the first hits was http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/610ecb4h(VS.80).aspx , which contains the information. And I have not used cl in years, so I can't really test it.

To pass linker options on the `cl` command line, put `/link ` before them

Why are you using `cl` directly and not through visual studio or a makefile created by visual studio?
