As I found there is a way to use DirectX 9 library for projects in Dev-C++,
see link for details.
Will it be possible to add DirectX functionality in Irrlicht.dll for Dev-C++?

I already thought about including D3D support also for Dev-C++. I'll try it out, and maybe it will be in in the next release.

Amazing!
[off]How do you do several irrlicht.dll (for VC and Dev-C++)? You maintain 2 projects - one in VC and the other in Dev-C++?

Sure, but with some restrictions. Some things work with Visual Studio which g++ does not like. For example declaring a method like this:

void foo(const& bar=Bar());

But there are not much constructs which work with one compiler and don't work with the other. If you don't use any of this, it will work with both compilers.
