You should create import libraries from the DLLs and link agaist them.

See also the user guide:

I use impgen which comes from libtool:
http://anfaenger.de/cygwin/impgen/

impgen ${DLLNAME}.dll >${DLLNAME}.def
dlltool --as=as --dllname ${DLLNAME}.dll --def ${DLLNAME}.def --output-lib ${DLLNAME}.dll.a


There are also lot of information about this on http://mingw.org/
where is described to use impdef which is available here:
