peculiar libcurl library error

I have been trying to get the libcurl library to work with the following program shown below but I have been getting the following error:

||=== Build: Debug in test3 (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler) ===|
obj\Debug\main.o||In function `Z8getstockPcS_':|

I'm confused as to why this is occurring. I'm using Windows 7 64bit and Code::Blocks. Under 'build options' linker settings and link libraries I added all the libraries listed in the lib64 folder namely, libcrypto.a, libcrypto.dll.a, libcurl.a, libcurldll.a, librtmp.a, libssh2.a, libssh2dll.a, libssl.a, libssl.dll.a, libz.a, libz.dll.a, and libzdll.a. Under search directories compiler I included c:\lib\curl-7.34.0-devel-mingw64\include and under search directories linker I included c:\lib\curl-7.34.0-devel-mingw64\lib64. As far as I can tell I'm doing everything right. So why isn't this working?

  curl_global_cleanup();

The code compiles and runs fine under code::blocks.

I'm using Linux so I don't know whether this will help or not, but are you entering the complete library name under linker settings? If so try entering only "curl" (no qoutes).

Edit: Add curl here

Yeah it still doesn't work. Originally under Linker settings I clicked add and then selected the files under the file browser. I then added it listing the relative path. When I typed in the names instead as you suggested it didn't fix it.
