I am struggling to create a program which embeds song lyrics in *.mp3 files using C++ programming for my ongoing project. After searching, I found a library named "TAGLIB" that can process ID3v2.3 standard metadata. According to the LIBTAG installation guide, I ran CMAKE and configured liked this image and this image and build with mingw

C:\Desktop\taglib> mingw32-make and C:\Desktop\taglib> mingw32-make install

I got this folder C:\Program Files (x86)\taglib having contents inside it, including,

bin\libtag.dll
bin\libtag_c.dll
bin\libtag_c.dll

include\*.h files

lib\pkgconfig\taglib.pc
lib\pkgconfig\taglib_c.pc
lib\libtag.a
lib\libtag.dll.a
lib\libtag_c.dll.a

In Codeblocks, I linked libtag.a, libtag.dll.a and libtag_c.dll.a and configured search directories to C:\Program Files (x86)\taglib and did same to the current project. But compiler gives this type of error for]many times

undefined reference to _imp___ZN6TagLib6StringC1EPKcNS0_4TypeE'|

when I tried to compile example codes provided with library.

Then I used GCC to compile code. But this time no luck..

C:\Program Files (x86)\taglib>gcc -o f.exe framelist.cpp -L"C:/Program Files (x86)/taglib/lib/" -libta.a -I"C:/Program Files (x86)/taglib/include/taglib"

Getting this error:

As you can understand, I'm fairly new to adding external library, help me figuring out, How can I properly install "LIBTAG" to start coding in Codeblocks.
