I have dx6.1 and I use borland and mingw32 when i try compiling any of the examples with mingw I get syntax errors. I can''t even get borland to work with it. anyone know why I am thinking it is the examples that came with it. could someone tell me how to fix this.

Are you using the correct libs for the Mingw32 compiler? You can''t use the ones that come with the Microsoft DirectX SDK, y''know. Secondly, it would help greatly if you post the error messages that you receive from the compiler.

I am not positive it worked with VC++ but it doesn''t seem to work with mingw.
