Your comment is reasonable enough, but unfortunately the main 
problem is there are examples on the internet using this "-L" for 
this kind of thing.

If go here: 
http://wiki.dlang.org/Compiling_and_linking_with_DMD_on_Windows#Static_Libraries_and_Import_Paths

There is an example in: "Passing search directories for static 
library files to Optlink", which follows:

     C:\Project\main.d
     C:\Project\lib\mylib.lib

     where main.d depends on the mylib library, you can compile 
via:

     dmd -L+.\lib\ driver.d mylib.lib

Yes there is a "+" plus sign and a "." dot there, but I believe 
people gets confuse and uses it as "-I".

About this in fact this was my mistake, because originally I had 
tried "\" and since it wasn't working so I change to "/" and that 
remains.
