Frustration with PDcurses!

[Neo1]

How on earth do i get PDcurses to work with MinGW? I've already managed to compile it, and i now have a file called "libpdcurses.a" in my lib directory, and the curses.h header in "include", but i still get undefined reference errors when trying to use any functions from the library.

#include <curses.h>
int main(void)
{
     initscr();
     endwin();
}

If i try to compile the above program with:

g++ -Llibpdcurses.a main.cpp

i just get 2 undefined reference errors, i've also tried virtually any variation of the above, still not working?

Use,

g++ -lpdcurses main.cpp

Historically at least, order mattered, in which case

g++ main.cpp -lpdcurses

Apparently i didn't try every combination, but thanks to you guys it's working fine now, thanks alot
