Assuming you are using a unix-like platform...

checkout "ar" and "ranlib"

sure, but its offtopic here. Try a gcc or gnu group. Or read the
docs/manuals. Or websearch for "create library with gcc". Ar.

you can make a batch file to run ranlib. Then just do (example from a
68k embedded board.

ar rvs NAMEOFAFILE.a OBJECTFILE1.o OBJECTFILE2.o
m68k-coff-ranlib NAMEOFAFILE.a

where NAMEOFAFILE.a is the is the libary you wish to produce.
OBJECTFILE1.o ext are the names of the object files you wish to add.

remember to add a .h storeing all the .h files that you've added to
the libary file. ie in NAMEOFAFILE.h have
#include "OJECTFILE1.h"
#include "OJECTFILE2.h"

Then in your makefile you'll need to add your libary with something
like

llibary1= ..location of NAMEOFAFILE
iLibary1= ..location of NAMEOFAFILE

you'll have to make sure all flags in the make show the libary

IFLAGS= -I$(ilibary1)
lib= -lLibary1


in the pattern rules you'll have to add the flags
%.o : %.c
$(IFLAGS) $< -o $@


finally in any c file that you now call the libary file from you have
to add the NAMEFILE.h

Strange than none of my Windows, Linux, SCO or AIX systems have a
command "m68k-coff=ranlib". Since they all have C implementations that
at least attempt to achieve C89 conformance I would have thought this
command would be included...
