(Hello, this is my first post, and I am using Dev C++ IDE 5.11)
I included the header, SOIL.h and the linker: -lSOIL.
This program compiles with no problem and runs correctly, but when I add any function into my code from the SOIL library, I receive a linker error.
'recipe for target 'Project1.exe' failed'
Here is the code from SOIL that causes the linker error:
unsigned char* image = SOIL_load_image("container.jpg", &width, &height, 0, SOIL_LOAD_RGB);
(There is probably an easy explanation and answer for this, but I have searched everywhere as I cannot find it.)
Note: I am following a tutorial from the website learnopengl
Here is my makefile.win:

Thank you so much Patrick Stewart for helping me figure this out.
Oddly enough, when I didn't have the -Bstatic, there was the only one error. When I followed what you said about the compilation log, it gave more errors that I did not know were there. I Googled it and found out an answer from this site:
http://www.gamedev.net/topic/614336-soil-linker-errors/
that the -lSOIL had to be before the -lopengl32.
This is weird in my opinion, but it is a solution.
