why mingw64 on msys2 can not link ftd2xx library

Question

I have installed MSYS2 along mingw64 on my win10 machine, I also Have downloaded the D2XX Drivers for linux from https://ftdichip.com/drivers/d2xx-drivers/ and I have extracted the archive and put the ftd2xx.h into C:\msys64\mingw64\include folder and libftd2xx.a into C:\msys64\mingw64\lib folder, Now I have written a simple program and try this command to compile the code gcc eeprom_example.c -o eeprom_example -lftd2xx

But I get these linker errors,

gcc eeprom_example.c -o eeprom_example -lftd2xx

What did I do wrong?

this is my actual code

#include <stdint.h>
#include "ftd2xx.h"
