To build the console version, you have to configure the modules. Ok, 
it's been a while for me so I don't remember the nomenclature.
There is a dialog box with checkboxes to select the modules to use. i.e. 
jpeg, boost_time, etc.  One will be called GUI, uncheck that.  One will 
be called console, check that.  Then recompile.  You will get build 
errors, but the error is quite specific about what you have to fix to 
move on. Something like enabling _CONSOLE in file ../../blah.h
