I am looking to develop a d3d11 app with gcc from tdm-gcc(tried pure MinGW didn't work), I've written test app, but am unable to link libd3d11 in order to get D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapChain@48 The app is supposed to be compileable in both 32-bit and 64-bit respectively. Here's how I compile trying to use mingw headers and libs:

gcc -m32 -ld3d11 main.c -o test.exe

I am getting:

C:/MinGW/64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/9.2.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: D:\TEMP\ccvsC3nh.o:main.c:(.text+0x243): undefined reference to `D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapChain@48'
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I've seen some posts about compiling directx via mingw, but they didn't give sufficient info, as I am not exactly sure what I am missing or doing wrong.

In your code, do you write D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapChain@48 or D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapChain? – Simon Mourier Dec 09 '20 at 12:05
I write D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapChain, for 64-bit it will be D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapChain, for 32-bit it will be D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapChain@48. – eLeCtrOssSnake Dec 09 '20 at 12:10
Can you try with a more recent GCC/MinGW-w64 like 10.2.0 from http://winlibs.com/ ? – Brecht Sanders Dec 09 '20 at 14:52
Does this answer your question? [zig creates a C library but not usable by C](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65187214/zig-creates-a-c-library-but-not-usable-by-c) – the busybee Dec 09 '20 at 15:01
@BrechtSanders everything went the same – eLeCtrOssSnake Dec 09 '20 at 15:08
OH WHAT IT ACTUALLY WORKED – eLeCtrOssSnake Dec 09 '20 at 15:11
@eLeCtrOssSnake Was this with the compiler from http://winlibs.com/ ? – Brecht Sanders Dec 09 '20 at 16:28
it damn crashes after executing d3d11 functions... uh something's wrong... – eLeCtrOssSnake Dec 10 '20 at 12:27
@BrechtSanders No it was with tdm-gcc – eLeCtrOssSnake Dec 10 '20 at 12:28
Nvm, I was stupid a bit, everything is flying as intended. Incorrect argument order was the only problem. – eLeCtrOssSnake Dec 10 '20 at 13:03
