implementing a library in C

so I'm running MinGW on Windows, and I want to mess around Xiph.Org's libao - a cross-platform audio output library

I'm very inexperienced, and my question is how do I actually make use of it? You can download it here http://xiph.org/downloads/ (it's small)

I see an install-sh file but I can't actually make use of that on Windows, can I?

I can put the header files, which are under include/ into C:\MinGW\Include, right? (but that doesn't even seem right because then how would I remove libraries I added later if I wanted to? it's not separated) but then where do I put the actual source files?

excuse me sir, but you have not proven that you know what those are either. In the case that the original poster (or perhaps, another person reading the thread) is unaware of what linking is, or what object files are, it may be have been more helpful for you to post a link to a reputable source explaining these concepts in a detailed and accessible manner. If you would like to play games of who knows what better than who, and who can understand my jargon better than who, then I would kindly ask you to take this game back to /g/.
