I'm using GLFW and compiling with mingw_tdm. how do i get rid of this extra console window?

thanks in advance

Create a Windows Win32 application rather than a console application. A console application will spawn a console when it starts, which is what you're seeing.

so both of these answers make sense but since I'm using netbeans and mingw_tdm how would i tell the toolchain to compile it as win32 rather then a console app?

In NetBeans go to project properties -> Run. For Console Type choose "Output Window". This way your output should appear in your IDE instead of in a separate console window.
