How to configure mingw32 to cross-compile Direct3D Apps for Windows? Is there any possibility? I have actually succeeded compiling code from this tutorial: http://www.directxtutorial.com/Tutorial9/B-Direct3DBasics/dx9B4.aspx - using Code::Blocks on Kubuntu with i586-mingw32msvc-g++. I needed to add #define UNICODE and remove the #pragma ... parts to do this, and I used header files from /usr/i586-mingw32msvc/include and libs also from mingw package.
However I cannot compile code from this tutorial: http://www.directxtutorial.com/Tutorial9/B-Direct3DBasics/dx9B5.aspx
Mingw doesn't have d3dx9.h file. So I've installed wine1.2-dev package with wine versions of Windows-related header files, but now I have errors:
With #define UNICODE:

Do I have to install through wine MS DirectX SDK? Change something with the code? I'm DirectX- and Windows-related things noob but I just want to cross-compile some simple examples of D3D and check if this works.
