title: C++ compiler questions
body: <p>I was just wondering how C++ compilers deal with certain things:<br/>
  First, how do I find out which C++ compiler I have? (gcc? gnu? or something...)<br/>
  Then, how does the compiler hide the console window when I'm programming a windows gui?<br/>(or is hiding the console done in code?)<br/>
  Also, how do I include dlls when compiling?<br/>
  And is there any place I could learn everything else about my compiler?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: @StuartGolodetz I think I have minGW, actually (I'm using DevCpp); and what I meant when I asked how to hide the console window or how to include dlls is not how to set it up in the IDE I'm using, but rather, how do I do it <i>at the command line?</i></p>
