Using COM object in C++ with MinGW compiler

Question

I have an in-process COM server (i.e. DLL) I'd like to use from a C++ application that's to be compiled with the MinGW suite (using CodeLite IDE). I don't quite know where to start, any tips, suggestions or sample code anyone?

Cheers, Matt

Just like a normal COM, you need to get its header files for the structure of COM Class and the CLSID, then

CoCreateInstance(CLSID, ..., ppv)
ppv->YourComAPI1(arg1);

Nothing different as developing under VC.
