any managed to compile sdl and directx9 with mingw/msys?

configure runs fine but make fails with:

In file included from SDL_dx5audio.c:37:
SDL_dx5audio.h:40: error: syntax error before "LPDIRECTSOUND"
SDL_dx5audio.h:40: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union
etc
etc

i made the dx9 libs and headers from dx9cSDK following instructions to convert them for mingw.

if i switched to dx5 libs and headers sdl compiles successfully.

hmm. maybe its not necessary to use dx9?

You should be able to get it working by using the headers and libs available on libsdl.org. I was once able to get it working with the files from the DirectX 9 SDK (just renamed the files and put them in the appropriate places), but it was a pain and I have since had to reintall mingw/msys.
