Not really. You are just asking C questions in a Pascal list :-)

No, but you should get the relevant libs from that mingw compiler that you
used.

If you link the .a library in C, you must provide a whole bunch of -l
options on the gcc cmdline.
It is those options (and the corresponding .a files from the mingw
distribution you used) you must provide here.

FPC doesn't not need import libs. So you must provide those yourself from
the development system you used to create the .a.
