[Mingw-users] Using xaudio2.h with Mingw GCC gives build errors.

[James F. <mjf...@gm...>]

I am attempting to port a component from Visual Studio to Codeblocks using
Mingw GCC as the compiler. The code includes

#ifdef _WIN32
#include "config.h"
#include <windows.h>
#include <xaudio2.h>
#endif

Now xaudio on my computer is found only in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK (August 2008)\Include

Now I get errors from the following lines in Xaudio2.h

// XAudio 2.2 (August 2008 SDK)
DEFINE_CLSID(XAudio2, b802058a, 464a, 42db, bc, 10, b6, 50, d6, f2, 58, 6a);
DEFINE_CLSID(XAudio2_Debug, 97dfb7e7, 5161, 4015, 87, a9, c7, 9e, 6a, 19,
52, cc);

The errors are:

My question is how do I resolve these issues ? Does Mingw come with its own
version of Xaudio2.h file ?
