I am trying to use imapi2 to write to cd-rw's with a c++ program that is compiled with mingw on windows. I am looking at a Visual Studio c++ example. I copied imapi2.h to my project from Microsoft SDK 7.1, but when I include #include "imapi2.h" in my header and try to compile I get a bunch of errors from the imapi2.h file. I assume that is because the header file is set up for Visual Studio. There errors are bellow. Is it possible to use mingw compiler to use imapi2? Thanks
g++ -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -o cdtest.o "..\\cdtest.cpp"

In order to get past these errors I found that every place there is a #include "imapi2.h" it needs to proceeded with a #include rpcsal.h. As an alternative on my system adding the following to lines before each #include "imapi2.h" also works.
#define __RC__range(min,max)
#define __RC__in_range(min,max)
