[Mingw-users] DirectX DirectDrawCreate Yet Again

[Rodrigo <rod...@y2...>]

Hello,

I have been using Peter Puck's Directx Libraries so far, and everything 
works fine for me, however, I know that eventually I would have to move out 
and start using the direct linking capabilities of mingw, which I like, but 
I keep getting this unresolved symbol  on DirectDrawCreate@16, I have 
searched the list archive, and found nothing but references to using 
LoadLibrary, GetProcAddress and/or GetModuleHandle, so I thought I would 
give it a try.

Using GetModuleHandle returned a null pointer (error) which can be 
explained because the ddraw.dll hasnt been loaded into memory, so I tried 
LoadLibrary, and it worked, but I get this "This Display Card does not 
support 640x480x16" message that I dont get compiling with VC++ or with 
Peter's Libs.

So I was wondering if someone could post an example on how to get arround 
this, how do you do it?

Thanks.
