In many of the contexts of this RPC stuff, you can print to the console with fprintf(stdout, like this:<br>
\#if defined(\_\_WXMSW\_\_) && wxUSE_GUI<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MyMessageBox("Warning: rpc password is blank, use -rpcpw=<password\>\n", "Bitcoin", wxOK | wxICON_EXCLAMATION);<br>
\#else<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;fprintf(stdout, "Warning: rpc password is blank, use -rpcpw=<password\>\n");<br>
\#endif
