g++ - Cant link to static library built with VS2012

Question

I built a static library (.lib) with VS2012. I wrote a test program by including my header and then tried to link it with the .lib file with g++

g++ Test.cpp Gray.lib -o test.exe

(All files are in the same directory)

And I'm getting undefined reference to errors on functions in my library. What do I do? I already searched for many answers, those didn't help.

You cannot do that without resorting to hacks, because name mangling is different between compilers you want to use. The most straigforward way is to complile your library for g++ natively.
