Description (last modified by )
The first instruction in https://bugs.scummvm.org is to use a daily build first.
The second instruction is to report ScummVM's version (scummvm -v).
But turns out "-v" and most other command line parameters simply don't work (luckily, --conf does work) in daily builds. If you try to run them, nothing happens as if you clicked nothing.
In the case of "-v", this leads to another related issue.
So please make sure all command line parameters work in all situations.

Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
This is an issue that has been reported many times (see for example tickets #11317, #10809, #9804, or #6907). From what I understand the issue is only when printing the result (so any command line parameter that does not print something, such as --config, will work properly). And this seems related to the way the application is built. From #11317 I understand that the daily builds from buildbot are compiled as a GUI application and exhibit the issue, while those directly linked at https://www.scummvm.org/downloads/#daily might be compiled as a console application and work properly.
I would be tempted to close this ticket (as the other ones have been closed), but since this is something that comes back now and then, I am wondering if buildbot should be changed to build a console Windows application as well, or if there is a good reason to build a GUI one. Also I am not a Window user myself and I am not sure I actually understand what the issue really is and what the implications are.
