You have to include the appropriate Windows headers (at least windows.h
in most cases) with MinGW in the exact same way as you would with MSVC. 
The necessary headers to include are documented on MSDN for each
function.  Without more details such as: a testcase, a command line, and
its output, there's really no way anybody can say much more.
