Different dialog sizes using Borland and MSVC
Posted: Fri Oct 14, 2022 09:53 AM

When linking with MSVC please use this linker flag:

/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS,5.01

Now both will have the same size. Borland uses 5 by default and MSVC uses 6 by default

Thanks to Bruno Cantero!

This linker flag also allows to open a console if needed:

/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE,5.01

I tried that with my .mak file, and also with my VS IDE builds, and it draws an error message that says it is not compatible.
