Compile OpenGL application from Windows on Linux

Question

My friend made OpenGL graphic engine, but he is working on Windows. I want to compile project with it.
I installed all required libs with headers, but now problem is with linking (project in Code::Blocks). I found paths for /usr/lib/libSOIL.a and /usr/local/lib/libglfw3.a, but what about:

C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW\lib\libopengl32.a
C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW\lib\assimp_debug-dll_win32\assimp.lib

Also, what I must modify in project file to compile it? It requires: glfw3, glm, gl3w.h, assimp, SOIL (this is what I get from .hpp files). I installed all headers (downloaded sources and make && make install)...

I tried to compile it from terminal with g++, but I don't know switches for libraries.

Current situation:

$ g++ Camera.o Entity.o Frustum.o gl3w.o Light.o Material.o Mesh.o Model.o ModelPart.o Shader.o Texture.o Utilities.o ../main.o -o main -L/usr/local/lib/libglfw3.a -lX11 -lXext -lXt -lSM -lGLU -lglut -lSOIL
/usr/bin/ld: gl3w.o: undefined reference to symbol 'glXGetProcAddress'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'glXGetProcAddress' is defined in DSO /usr/lib/nvidia-313-updates/libGL.so.1 so try adding it to the linker command line
/usr/lib/nvidia-313-updates/libGL.so.1: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

(i added too much libraries to command line, I know)

EDIT
Added -lGL and -ldl and some problems comes out. Now, I'll trying compile it with makefile...

I think your problem is not about how to compile with OpenGL in Linux, but a general lack of understanding how the GCC build toolchain works in Linux. Just throwing a Makefile into that won't really solve that problem. — datenwolf

Now solved, just tons of mistakes with libraries etc. Also, Makefile is really better solution than C::B project... — aso

libopengl32 -> libGL.a

assimp -> libassimp.a ?

You gotta provide the Makefile you're compiling it with.

But from what directory? I have a few libGL.so, and none libassimp.a :( Please look at my edit, I added error from ld.

There is no libGL.a. You want to link to libGL.so simply by specifying the -lGL linker flag.

@aso you forgot to link with GLFW it seems, specify -lglfw3 to the commandline
