i just wanted to make sure i don't lose my mind here. I wanted to build a simple Direct3D 11 application and had a basic window running. I now wanted to add some actual rendering but unfortunately my compiler won't recognize the DXGI_FORMAT enum type from dxgiformat.h. I tried many thinks of one was to literally copy the content of the header manually but no luck. Also i checked the output of the preprocessor and confirmed that gcc actually draws its resources from the right places and that the content of the header was in there correctly. Furthermore this is the only dxgiformat.h header on this machine. I'm aware of the unused variable since this is what i was going to use before this problem occured. I now just wanted to be save this is not a user problem before trying to report any bugs. As i stated i'm using the MinGW-w64 toolchain from the installer. These are my Error messages:

DXGI_FORMAT_R32G32B32_FLOAT is an enum that describes a particular memory layout, but is not itself a C++ structure you can declare in your vertex type.
You can use float position[3], but many DirectX C++ programs use the various DirectXMath types such as DirectX::XMFLOAT3 position;. There's a fairly complete list of equivalents here.
