Shared libraries have the extension .dll on Windows, not .so. Specifying -lf will find your library if you named it cygf.dll or libf.dll, or if you created an import library libf.dll.a. (It will find other variants as well, like f.lib. Read the linker manual for the full list.) If you want to name a DLL with a nonstandard extension like .so there is nothing stopping you, but you can't expect the -l switch to find it if you do. You can specify it to the linker by filename directly though.
