How to compile a DirectX 11 app in MinGW

Question

I've looked, and I can't find any material relating to using Direct3d 10 or 11 with MinGW. What do I have to do to get things working? I'm getting errors in the header files supplied by the DX SDK.

And don't anyone even think of suggesting Visual Studio.

Answer 1

It seems that here it is explained how to get DX headers from SDK work with MinGW: http://d.hatena.ne.jp/tbk/20110115/1295080728 Use Google Translate to translate page to english.

Alternatively try using DirectX headers from mingw64 project from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/ You'll need "Download headers and CRT source v2.0.1 (r4623) (7.0 MB)". Or you can check out them directly from svn: https://mingw-w64.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mingw-w64/trunk/mingw-w64-headers/

Answer 2
