There is no guarantee that you'll be able to mix Microsoft libraries with
gcc libraries.
There is a guarantee that if you try to use a c++ library that was not
generated with g++ (aka gcc) it definitely will not work. I don't know
if that is the case here or not but I thought I would mention it now in
case that is the next question.
We're working on compatibility issues so it's possible that the gcc that
comes with the new release will work better but, again, there are no
guarantees.
Sorry.
