You need to use: -Lpath/to/lib/dir -lprotobuf The -L flag adds a directory which will be searched for libraries, whereas the -l flag says to link against a particular library. The compiler automatically prefixes the library name with "lib" and suffixes it with ".a". Note that I test every release on MinGW. You can use MSYS to invoke the included configure script and makefiles, to build it just like you would on any Unix system. > > > I'm using the same mingw compiler to build my Qt application, so that > is not the problem. > > Anyway, I'm still struggling with this stuff, and since no one at my > company knows anything about C++ on Windows, it's a hassle.
