Why would you want to do that? DirectX is so confusing and seems badly put together. And this will also require the user to buy the WineX product just to play your game, when you could have saved yourself and him the trouble simply by using SDL! Also what can possibly be the benefit of using a 3rd party application to run a game which is created with DirectX, a product that is not designed to run on your linux machine?!
