Hello again! :)
Okay, well, I thought I was going to go back to my homework and forget
about this, but of course I had to look up how to make a static library
for our friend Darius here :)
All right, what you want to do is compile each .c that you want in the
library into an object file, .o
You might do something like:
% foreach i (*.c)
> gcc -c $i
> end
or with Bash:
$ for i in *.c
> do
> gcc -c $i
> done
to get all those .o files...
Okay, so now you make a static library from the .o files like this:
$ ar r mylib.a file1.o file2.o file3.o
$ ranlib mylib.a
And now you've got a static library to use!
$ gcc app.c mylib.a -o app
You can delete an object file from your library with ar like this:
$ ar d mylib.a badone.o
Does that help... ? I hope so :)
Have fun!
