Whenever I put my dll files in the same directory as my main.cpp and use this code,it works.Code:g++ main.cpp -L. -lMyDll
but if my dll files are in the other directory,it won't work. Why is this not working?Code:g++ main.cpp -L/myDlls -lMyDll

Most paths in linux are in relation to the cwd:
-L./myDlls
I tried that but still it doesn't work. Also, I'm using windows8 and this my error message.
Code:c:/mingw/bin/..lib/gcc/mingw32/4.8.1/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: final link failed operation
Show us the command line you used.
Also try (on a program which does link successfully) a command like this
g++ -v prog.cpp
This will make the compile driver print out all sorts of detailed information about the various compilation steps, including for example the exact syntax for -L paths on your system.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

Also, I get an warning message, "Warning: corrupt .drectve at the end of def file"
but I think this is related to SDL.
And for the -v, there were too many messages so I couldn't read them all.

Great.And for the -v, there were too many messages so I couldn't read them all.
g++ -v prog.cpp > linking_info.txt
Then attach linking_info.txt to your next post instead of making excuses and denying information.

What part of post #2 escaped your attention?
/lib is an ABSOLUTE path.
One that cannot exist on winblows since everything needs to be d:/foobar or something.
Find the absolute path to the directory, then use it.
