    Lightbulb Simple GUI - different behavior in Linux and Windows

    Dear All,
    New Qt and recently our team developed simple GUI (Single form with few buttons). Qt Creator -4.0.2/ Qt 5.7.0 on Windows 10 / Linux Ubuntu / Default Mingw 32 G++ compiler.
    Each button press - message will display at "Application Output" window in Qt Creator IDE. This _works fine_ on Linux and Windows.

    As a requirement, need to build this from command line. On Linux and Windows 10, i have used
    Qt Code:
    1. qmake -project; qmake; mingw32-make
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Got the executable (after link with Qt core, Qt Gui, usr/x86_64-linux-gnu libraries )
    So, on Linux command shell ./simple_Gui executes the GUI and each button press outputs the relevant message (for example - Move button pressed)
    On Windows 10, run the EXE file from MinGw command windows (not Windows command promt) outputs the GUI only. No message.

    Believe, i have given any enough info. Not sure, why Windows app behave differently?
    Am i missing anything? Any thoughts will save our team's time. Thanks a lot.

    Cheers!
    Chandra

    On Windows add this line to the pro file :
    Qt Code:
    1. CONFIG += console
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
