newbie errors

[Ralph Hipps]

ok, I tried make, fails.

This looked promising, but... second step fails, same error.

This is just crazy. The Aardvark guys (Total Phase) even advertise using MinGW, show a list of simple instructions, but they don't work. So far nothing does. I guess this is why sw guys make so much $$$, they know all the secret handshakes to get this stuff to compile.   =)

us poor hardware guys get to beat our heads against the wall while the sw guys point and laugh.   =)

Try "-L ." instead of "-Llib".  IOW, GCC needs to be told where to
look for aardvark.dll, if it is not in the "usual" places, where all
the other libraries are kept.
