Oh my! That's very confused about if it's building a w32api or an X11 application.

At the very least, you should not be linking with /usr/lib/w32api/libopengl32.a.

comctl32, vfw32, gdi32, wsock32, ws2_32 also seem unlikely to be right.

These symbols are provided by libGL, but you'll notice that libvtftgl.a comes 
after that on the command line you are using.
