Let's start again from the begining.
First you create a library with the filename "libmyf.a". Then consider 
you put in the directory "C:\foo".

So now you create an app and want to link to this library. Then you call 
the compiler like this:

gcc     program.c     -o program.exe     -lmyf     -L"c:\foo"


Does it work now?


By the way, you don't need to add the default directories (include and 
lib). The compiler will search in the default dirs (like ../include and 
../lib) automatically. The only directory I have configured on my 
Dev-Cpp is the binaries because this last version requires this.
Also a good idea is to add your c:\dev-cpp\bin (if you installed it 
there) to your PATH environment variable (unless you think it'll polute 
another compiler environment, like cygwin) so you can call gcc like in 
my example in any console window (but is much more warm and cozy to do 
it in a *nix shell, like MSYS :P ).
