Theoretically, you should be able to use DirectX with any compiler since it is an API. However, since it is a Microsoft product, you should strongly consider using Visual Studio. This will avoid any compatibility issues.

Alright thanks
i might consider purchasing visual studio, even though i do hate most Microsoft software.

you can get Visual C++ Express 2005 free from the microsoft website. It is very good for free software, and would be more than sufficient since you are just learning
