:nosearch was used here

"And from the doc: An entry of the form -lfoo specifies the library foo, which may be spelled differently depending on what kind of compiler you are using. If you are using GCC, it gets translated to libfoo.a, but for other win32 compilers, it becomes foo.lib. ... An entry that matches /:nosearch/i disables all searching for the libraries specified after it"

It was my understanding that :nosearch get the dll.a lib used instead of the .a lib by the linker.

What am I missing with having undefined reference to `g_value_get_variant' with the code below ?

Thanks
