    Step1: Learn the name and version of the Compiler you are using.
    Step2: Figure out if the compiler supports DirectX

    Note: Code::Blocks is an IDE; it is not a compiler.

    yea, You got a have your libs first then if their are any options that are required for special linking you have to add that to codeblocks in the place they have the directives to compile using the compiler, installed separately ( batteries not included ) and your video card needs to support the same version DirectX. so yes, there is a little bit to it. good luck and have fun.

    PS I do think the OS also has to have support for it as well if I remember correctly.
