-libcurl linker "cannot find"

Question

I'm following this quasi-tutorial here on making curl work: Using LibCURL C++

I'm at the point now where I've downloaded and linked the necessary file paths to my compiler and linker. However, when I run the program I get this error:

"cannot find -lcurldll"

This appears to be a linker command malfunction. In the tutorial, its instructed to put "curldll" in the link library. I've been working on this for hours without success. What should I do? (Using Windows 10, Code :: Blocks)

Yes, this is Windows 10, using Codeblocks, mingw gcc compiler. — DragonflyBeach, Nov 05 '17 at 18:50
Never used windows to compile c++. On Linux you would need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH. — Philip Brack, Nov 05 '17 at 21:15

The answer was to put the command without the -l in the linker.
