If you wan't to use MinGW from the command line, then you should 
download the latest MinGW package, and install it. That way gcc will 
find everything, and no need to add -L and -I stuff (except for your own 
libs and includes). It is also a good idea to put the .../gcc/bin 
directory to your PATH, that way you can use gcc from anywhere.

The usage is as follows (roughly):
gcc -Wall -c -o source1.o source1.cpp
gcc -Wall -c -o source2.o source2.cpp
...
gcc -o program.exe source1.o source2.o ...

You may replace gcc with g++ for c++ code. You can ask me about usage 
from command line, as I have used it a lot, and I still use it a lot 
nowadays.

Alan, if you could post the errors you get, that would help the most.
