How do I link SDL .a files with GCC?

Not a duplicate; Answers on various forums didn't fix the problem. I am running GCC through commands and I am getting undefined references from SDL even though it appears like I linked SDL correctly, how do I stop from getting those undefined references ? I do not get undefined references from mingw, just SDL.

This is my command: (all the libraries are being located by GCC from what I can tell)

gcc main.c ^
-o app.exe ^
-I "C:\__coding\tools\SDL2-2.0.10\x86_64-w64-mingw32\include\SDL2" ^
-L "C:\__coding\tools\MinGW\lib\" ^
-l "libmingw32.a" ^
-L "C:\__coding\tools\SDL2-2.0.10\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib" ^
-l "libSDL2main.a" ^
-l "libSDL2.a"

This is the output:

C:...\main.c:(.text+0xe): undefined reference to 'SDL_Init'
C:...\main.c:(.text+0x13): undefined reference to 'SDL_Quit'
c:/__coding/tools/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.8.1/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp\ccqsLSRk.o: bad reloc address 0x20 in section '.eh_frame'
c:/__coding/tools/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.8.1/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: final link failed: Invalid operation
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

main.c includes SDL.h and just runs SDL_Init() and SDL_Quit(). I also get the classic undefined reference to "winmain" when I remove SDL_Init() and SDL_Quit(). Thanks alot.
