Forget about .lib, those are for the Microsoft compiler... and even if
OpenCSG is made to be built with Microsoft tools and the non free Qt,
try this:

1. cd OpenCSG-1.3.1/src and edit the src.pro file's 6th line to this:
        CONFIG                += staticlib opengl warn_on release
2. run i686-pc-mingw32-qmake src.pro
3. run make release (unless you want the debug version, then use make or
make debug -- which is the same thing)
4. run ls -al ../lib

src $ ls -al ../lib
total 200

drwxr-xr-x 10 rberber rberber   4096 May 26 09:39 ../
-rw-r--r--  1 rberber rberber 191704 May 26 10:00 libopencsg.a

Notice I didn't use your define (-DGLEW_STATIC) or added any libraries.
 Those are needed for creating the dynamic library (.dll not .lib) and
any executable.
