    Unhappy DX SDK Problem with includes!

    I downloaded the needed files from NeHe's website for DX(DirectInput, etc.). When I do:

    #include <dinput.h>

    // All the others

    it won't compile and gives me this:

    49 c:\dev-c_~1\include\objbase.h
    from C:\DEV-C_~1\INCLUDE\dinput.h:17,
    37 c:\dev-c_~1\include\unknwn.h
    `com_interface' only supported with -fvtable-thunks


    What is wrong?

    Try using the DirectX package from Bloodshed's links. These an intruction README file that come with it. It works.

    Dev-C++ doesn't do COM very well (I think because of the MinGW compiler). Otherwise make sure you use the -fvtable and -thunks compiler commands (maybe you forgot to add them to the compiler options).
    If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to see it, do the other trees make fun of it?

    1. The Direct X won't work with Dev-C++ v5.0 beta.
    2. It works fine with me with 4.01
