To make gcc search a new path for libraries on the command line use
the -L/path/to/library argument and then to link in a library use the
-llibname.  So to use the math library you would type 

gcc -o foo.exe foo.c -lm

or for an allegro application

gcc -o foo.exe foo.c -lalleg

or for one of your own apps

gcc -o foo.exe foo.c -L./lib -lmine
