Re: [Mingw-users] Problems compiling DirectX8 code on MinGW

[Luke D. <cod...@ho...>]

I have found some useful information about using DirectShow with MinGW here:

http://home.clara.net/raoulgough/vidmodem/dshow.html

This and others can be found using Google. The particular problem of
duplicate definitions from wingdi.h will be resolved in the next release of
w32api, but you can just modify the DirectX headers instead (and this
probably applies to the other problems).
