 | Is there a way I can write a wxWidgets application that (say given a --nogui
command line option) will run as a console program?
I have tried to write one that doesn't open a window or anything but it
still tries to attatch to X. Exiting with a Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open
display:
This app only has to run under linux conditions so there are little
constraints there.
Anyway - if it can be done inside the wxWidgets model without wrapping
around it I would appreciate a tip.

Sure, you should use wxBase and not wxGTK.
Not all functionality is there of course, but most of it must be
available. Depending on you situation, you are not expecting to meet and
shortcomings (most of them must be put by your application anyway).
Unless you mean a "dialog" interface...

I should have mentioned... any way with wxGTK? I don't think that wxBase is
an option.

I have a computer simulation that takes advantage of wxGLCanvas to display
some activity in real time, but I need to run in console mode on remote
machines to collect larger sets of data by writing to files.
The technique that people before me have used is to have two sets of source
and compile up separate gui/console applications.

You can, see
"http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wyodesktop/wyoDesktop/checkdfb/sr
c/app.cpp?view=markup" and look for wxAppConsole. You can get the
sources from here
"http://wyodesktop.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=checkapp.html".
