Hello !
I converted the Direct SDK Package Libs.
to MinGW. Would it be usefull for others
to put it online and maybe replace the
old Package

It has been proposed many times, but the old libraries are kept there because
they provide better support for old systems (Win98 etc). Also, the new
drivers don’t have anything that’d make SDL faster or better, so it’d be only
updating for the sake of updating (and breaking old systems).

Does a programm that selects for example DX 5 compiled with
the latest DirectX SDK, not run on Win98 anymore ?

Hello !
But it may be interesting for people who
not only use SDL, but also use other code
using the latest DirectX version.

If you compile the program against DirectX 9.0, it is more than likely that it
isn’t going to work on the earlier DirectX versions (like the one that is
shipped by default to Win98 and Win95). But a program linked against old
DirectX version should work on the recent versions.

You think this, is that true ?
Does anybody knows it exactly ?
