title: How to Include external C library on windows
body: <p>I am fairly new to C and I am trying to include a external library <strong>without</strong> using any IDE, only <strong>text-editor</strong> and the <strong>minGW</strong> compiler on <strong>windows</strong> cmd. The library is <code>libPNG</code> in this case, I would really like to understand how the process work <em>not only for this library</em>.</p>
  
  <p><em>If there is a better way (and easier) to do this, I would also like to know.</em></p>
