You may want to check FAQs for examples pertinent to the tools you are 
using, starting with even more basic tasks. Then ask on the 
corresponding forum. I guess it's some Windows version of gcc.  Most 
implementations of gcc use GNU binutils for linking; evidently gcc 
thinks you are giving an option to ld.  -l options (after source and 
object files) normally are expanded into a .a or .dll reference.  If you 
meant to use c:\include as an include file directory, that normally 
would be done by -I prior to the source file name.
