and I don't want to work with an ide
Can anyone help me?

I guess just install from mingw.org then link the .a libs in irrlicht.

Maybe you should look for the questions about DevCpp or CodeBlocks...
This IDEs are using MinGW as compiler...

BTW, if you really want to code with Notepad (or something similar), all right, it's your choise...

But I really suggest you to use Code::Blocks !!!
It's totaly free and uses MinGW (beside many others, but MinGW is installed by default) - and be sure to use the nightly builds !!!

hehe I knew that i would get these replys

But it's for a project, that is like an ide... (but not an ide i'm not crazy, it isn't

moreover, i've installed devCpp

)
I will try your tip xDan

Strange that you use MinGW but don't know how to use a library with it. I personally have msys and mingw installed as c:\msys and c:\msys\mingw respectively. I then put the includes under c:\msys\include\irrlicht and the .a libs under c:\msys\lib. For a simple compiling of one file:

g++ file.cpp -o file.exe -I/include/irrlicht -L/lib -lIrrlicht
