Thread: Linking to STL Port Libraries failing

After hours of googling and options testing I've broken down and decided to ask for help.

I am trying to compile a test application for the STLPort libraries under MinGW and Msys.

I successfully compiled STLPort with

Code:

./configure --without-stlport --enable-static --use-static-gcc

CFLAGS / CXXFLAGS (set to same thing)

Code:

$ echo $CFLAGS 
-I/e/MinGW/include -I/e/Build/STLport-5.2.1/stlport -L/e/MinGW/lib -L/e/MinGW/lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.0/

I have made a basic main.cpp to test / try it out

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main (int argc, char * argv[])
{
  cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
}

and am compiling with the command

Code:

g++ -Wall -mthreads -I/usr/include/ -L/usr/local/lib/STLPort/ main.cpp -o main.exe -lstlport

And an ls of the two directories

Code:

$ ls /usr/include

when compiling I get the following output

Code:

[DIR_TO_TEMP_OMMITED]\ccP5OPug.o:main.cpp:(.text+0xf): undefined reference to `_imp___ZN8stlp_std4coutE'
[DIR_TO_TEMP_OMMITED]\ccP5OPug.o:main.cpp:(.text$_ZN8stlp_std8ios_base23_M_check_exception_maskEv[stlp_std::ios_base::_M_check_exception_mask()]+0x1f): undefined reference to `_imp___ZN8stlp_std8ios_base16_M_throw_failureEv'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

It seems to me like its not finding the 'included' library. What am I doing wrong here? I can compile w/o the STLPort libraries however MinGW (still) doesn't support unicode streams. I would really like said streams.
