Problems compiling 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.
