No.  -L is used for the folder, and -l (small l) is used for
the name of the library.  For example

-lgfortran  means to look for libgfortran.so  (for shared linking, the
default, unless you used -static, then it will look for .a).

The library must be libgfortran.so and not anything else, not even
libgfortran.so.1, if it is libgfortran.so.1 then the common fix is to
make a symbolic link.

Why not just install VBox on windows (it is free) and install
Linux on it (free) and just use Linux? So much easier. This
is what I do. My PC is running windows (because I need few apps
there), but I do all my programming on Linux on the VBox).
