How do I link and compile Raylib on windows? - c

Question

I have installed the raylib migw from the official source. The installation directory is C:\raylib\raylib. I have written the sample program from the website as follows.
#include "raylib.h"
int main(void){
const int screenWidth = 800;
const int screenHeight = 600;
InitWindow(screenWidth, screenHeight, "raylib basic window test");
SetTargetFPS(60);
while(!WindowShouldClose()){
BeginDrawing();
ClearBackground(RAYWHITE);
DrawText("Congrats! You created your first window!", 190, 200, 20, LIGHTGRAY);
EndDrawing();
}
CloseWindow();
return 0;
}
I have compiled it using gcc main.c -I C:\raylib\raylib\src and when I do this, I'm getting the following error
C:\Users\jaych\AppData\Local\Temp\ccOHQPti.o:main.c:(.text+0x37): undefined reference to `InitWindow'

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
How do I fix this?

Add libraylib.a file into lib folder, then run the following command
gcc main.c -o main -O1 -Wall -std=c99 -Wno-missing-braces -L ./lib/ -lraylib -lopengl32 -lgdi32 -lwinmm
