One of the comments on MSDN says: DirectDraw header file is not compatible with C programming language and can only be included in C++ code. However, C-style redeclaration of contents in this header file alone (excluding other header files it includes), will succeed in resolving the issue. Also, I see no dwrite.h header in the MinGW runtime and w32api distributions, and no lib*.a import libraries for dwrite.dll. Am I missing something?
