Problems with libmad and minimad.c

Hi!

I am running Cygwin and have installed the libid3tag and
libmad libraries. After installation I got the following message
in the command window:

Libraries have been installed
in:
/usr/local/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed
libraries in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use
libtool, and specify the full pathname of the library, or use
the `-LLIBDIR´ flag during linking and do at least one of the
following:

-add LIBDIR to the `PATH´ environment variable
during execution
-add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH´ environment
variable during linking
-use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR´
linker flag

When I try to compile the minimad.c file in libmad
with:

gcc -static -pg -minimad.c -o minimad -lmad

(I'm using -static to be able to do a profiling later on
)

I get an error message that says that:

/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find
-lmad

When I am triyng to use just:

gcc -static -pg minimad.c -o minimad

I get several errors telling me that there are

"undefined references to `name_of_function´".

I'm guessing both of these problems have something to do
with me not linking against installed libraries?

As you probably already have figured out, I'm kind of a
newbie to all of this and I would really appreciate your help.
Tanks.
