c++ undefined reference to PathFileExistsW (_imp__PathFileExistsW@4)

I'm trying to build headless blackcoin from source on Windows 8 with mingw 6.3 and I got the following error: .../src/leveldb/libleveldb.a(env_win.o):env_win.cc:(.text+0xaff): undefined reference to '_imp__PathFileExistsW@4'

This function is mentioned here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb773584(v=vs.85).aspx enter image description here

I would appreciate if someone can help me. P.S. I linked the appropriate library.

Finally I was able to build it. Probably it is obvious for thoose guys who down voted the question. I simply answer since it might save time to somebody.

I relied on the Makefile which is a part of the project source code. Required library (shlwapi) present in the file so I was confused when it failed to build. Everything went well when I placed the library at the end of the linked files.

It was something like this 

g++ ... -o -lshlwapi... /src/leveldb/libleveldb.a /src/leveldb/libmemenv.a

And became this

g++ ... -o /src/leveldb/libleveldb.a /src/leveldb/libmemenv.a -lshlwapi
