Running on Windows is not a problem: if you just make system calls or perform an IPC, you haven't created a derivative work. If you mean a program that uses essential system libraries, that use falls under the system library exception: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLIncompatibleLibs I don't know if DirectX would be included by this exception (I don't know how Direct X works). Perahps the use of libconnui would be covered by this exception.
