title: Linking *.lib files with MinGW
body: <p>Is it possible to Link <code>*.lib</code> files with MinGW (I use it with Eclipse)?</p>
  <p>I'm fighting with libcurl+OpenSSL and I don't understand if my errors are because I try to use <code>.lib</code>-files in MinGW or something else is wrong:</p>
