Re: [Dev-C++] OT: DirectX usage with MinGW

Not impossible. A lot of EULAs from M$ are not so nice. One other example:
You may not benchmark performance of the .NET system and publish the
results without a written acknowledge from M$...

However, in case there is a problem, I don't think it is something that M$
is interested in actually do something about. A prohibition to use MinGW
to build DX applications would just put more fire on the Monopoly debate
and that is definitely not to the advantage of M$.
