I never said that there is a file called libd3dx9.a :wink:
But GCC will not accept MS Compiler compiled Libraries. So the couple of necessary files are missing in Win32-api distributed for MinGW compilers. :)
Are you saying that all the nice programs I built with MingW and this DirectX-SDK were not real? Only a figment of my imagination? :shock: OMG

ok just joking. I used these versions with TDMs GCC4.2:

    * binutils (binutils-2.17.50-20060824-1.tar.gz)
    * mingw-runtime (mingw-runtime-3.11.tar.gz)
    * w32api (w32api-3.7.tar.gz)

But there is no DirectX 8 headers and thus I can't test it.
2. Are Direct X headers and libraries are available separately for MinGW??

I use http://alleg.sourceforge.net/wip.html for DX7 and DX8 Files. Note, I have no idea if they are valid GPL files, but it's what MAME recommends to use.

Extract this file into your mingw directory, overwriting any duplicates that you encounter along the way.

Thanks a lot, Tim, for the link. :)

I'd try it. My idea is to test the wizard across DX8/9 with MinGW/MSVC.

Silly question from a beginner: What does NDEBUG in GCC mean?  :oops:
If it means No-Debug (therefore Release Build) then we must modify the above script!

Yes, it does mean No Debug. Defining NDEBUG turns off the effect of the standard assert macro.

You are free to modify the script till it becomes a working one. That's why I didn't put it in main repo. :)

ok then here is my newest tested version, without the additions of biplab to support dx8, since i neither use nor support dx8 - only dx9.
