GLEW fails to initialize

My machine has OpenGL 2.0, for some weird reason, the header file gl.h does not contain shader functions. So, I was suggested to use GLEW. I installed GLEW properly, and have linked glew32s to my compiler, I have also included the header file in my main.cpp. Yet, I get compiler (not runtime) errors when simply calling:

 GLenum err = glewInit();

undefined reference to `imp_glewInit@0'

What in the world is that supposed to mean? It says similar things for shader functions.

I am using the GCC compiler, and am on windows x86.

You're trying to use the static version of GLEW.

Make sure you #define GLEW_STATIC before #includeing glew.h.
