• MinGW + DirectX .
• I should first point out to beginner game developers that it is entirely possible to avoid using DirectX at all by using SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) for all your graphics, sound, input, timing, etc. , and it integrates well with OpenGL for 3D graphics (it actually uses DirectX for 2D graphics, sounds, and so on) -- with the added benefit of being cross-platform. So unless you need or want to work with the DirectX API directly for some specific reason, this is a good solution that offers portability to a number of other platforms and a rabid following of both pro and amateur game developers. If you're just starting out and not sure, I would recommend looking into it before getting into DirectX. ...
• Now, for those of you remaining, I assume you do know how to use MinGW, and I assume you are interested in getting it to compile DirectX apps. We'll need the DirectX headers and libraries for the version of DirectX we want to use. These are typically included in the DirectX SDK available from Microsoft. ... com/directx/. ...
• The most straightforward way to go about building a DirectX app is simply to use Microsoft's DirectX SDK. ...
• The version of the DirectX static libs shipping with MinGW is probably out of date, but if they do support the functions you need then you can use those simply by adding, for example -ldsound to your linker command.
• The implication of this library search naming convention gives us one more way to link to Microsoft's DirectX SDK libraries: simply change the names of the MS libraries to lib*. ...
• This includes everything you need to build DirectX 6 (or earlier) apps with either Cygwin or MinGW, however keep in mind that this download is the version 6 API. If you want later versions, I suggest getting them from Peter Puck's excellent site which also contains more detail regarding DirectX and MinGW and import library issues. ... The last version of DirectX to support DirectDraw API was version 7. You can still use the latest headers to compile and build for older versions of DirectX, however the v7 & v8 headers were causing some annoying compiler warnings so I stuck with version 6. I get the feeling Microsoft doesn't like you using 3rd party compilers to build DirectX apps.
