That setting is quite badly wrong. It should probably be:

OGL_LIBS = $(XLIBPATH) $(OPENGLULIB) $(OPENGLLIB) $(OPENGL32) -lXmu
-lXxf86vm -lXext $(XLIB) $(XEXTRALIBS) $(DLLIB) $(XDRLIB) $(MATHLIB)

(all on one line).

If you're using static libraries, the order in which libraries appear
in the link command is signficant. Dependencies must come after the
libraries which depend upon them; e.g. Xlib must come after all other
X libraries, libXext must come after libXxf86vm, etc.
