It doesn't crash (AFAIK), it just doesn't work. I have not done any
significant testing with MinGW so I can't really tell you what works and
what doesn't.

I wish. There's actually a significant effort to get DGS working on
windows (I imagine).  I think the first approach would be to use simple
window drawing code (like the xgps library does with X11) or more
helpfully, use the ghostscript library to do drawing in a
non-interpretive way.

Plus you also have to write the code for window and event handling.
