You only need one, libcurldll. curl-7.48.0-win32-mingw comes with both
the DLL import library (libcurldll.a) and the static library
(libcurl.a). Though it has a static library it is missing the other
static library dependencies so it won't be possible to use the static
library unless you have those dependencies. Remove libcurl.a from your
libs. What you may need to do is specify the lib directory and then the
lib curldll. Basically it looks something like this when I build it

gcc -o simple simple.c -I curl-7.48.0-win32-mingw\include -L
curl-7.48.0-win32-mingw\lib -lcurldll

And yes you need to have the DLL in your path or the same directory as
your program. Some IDEs have a project section where you can use a
modified path for running your program.
