I need help trying to compile a simple example for GLFW with MinGW

I am trying to compile an example from GLFW's documentation. My folder structure for the libraries and source files are: C:\cpp\ glfw3.dll glfw3dll.a libglfw3.a test.cpp include\ GLFW\ glfw3.h glfw3native.h ``` #include <GLFW/glfw3.h> int main(void) { GLFWwindow* window; /* Initialize the library */ if (!glfwInit()) return -1; /* Create a windowed mode window and its OpenGL context */ window = glfwCreateWindow(640, 480, "Hello World", NULL, NULL); if (!window) { glfwTerminate(); return -1; } /* Make the window's context current */ glfwMakeContextCurrent(window); /* Loop until the user closes the window */ while (!glfwWindowShouldClose(window)) { /* Render here */ /* Swap front and back buffers */ glfwSwapBuffers(window); /* Poll for and process events */ glfwPollEvents(); } glfwTerminate(); return 0; } ``` I'm trying to compile it with this command ``` c:\cpp>x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ -lglfw3 -Iinclude test.cpp -o test ``` but I get this error: ``` c:/users/username/gcc/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.7.2/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lglfw3 collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status ``` -v outputs: ``` Using built-in specs.
