 I think most Windows users are using Visual Studio and not mingw.  I have not tested to see how well mingw works with vendor libraries that are compiled with Visual Studio.  I know for sure that Cygwin stopped working with vendor libraries that were compiled with Visual Studio quite a few years ago.

For C++, Gnu and Visual Studio compilers use different name mangling - mixed linking doesn't work.

For C, it should work [TM].
