Whenever I try to compile my OpenGL sample project via MSYS2, Autotools and then make (which uses statically compiled GLEW and GLFW) I am getting this kind of output:

What I do not understand is that I am able to compile my code with manually typed command which looks like this:
x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ -ggdb -Og -std=c++14 src/main.cpp -o bin/opengl_tut.exe -DGLEW_STATIC -I./include/GL -I./include/GLFW -L./lib -lglfw3 -lglew32 -lopengl32 -lgdi32
However, I would prefer to achieve the same result with Autotools.
The src/opengl_tut-main.o object probably depends on OpenGL libraries, so it must be listed before the OpenGL libraries in the final command that links everything together.
