I would say that you should make sure that the files are where
you expect them to be. When using the console, iff you're in the
source directory you shouldn't need to specify a full path for
those files at least, which could help the compiler find them.
You can still specify the output directory for the exe.

On a side note, why use the m32 switch on Windows? That's the
default, so it isn't needed.
