[Dev-C++] Adding and creating my own Lib files to Project

[Carlos d. M. <cg...@wo...>]

I don't know if I sent this message to the right direction or not, I post it
again.

I have a couple of files:
file.h and file.cpp
which I want add to a project, but which I'll want add to other projects, too.
So I think make a library file, libfile.a.
I compile in command line g++ -c file.cpp
Then I do ar -r libfile.a file.o
Then ar -s libfile.a
I copy it to c:\dev-cpp\lib\
I put in options (either project if it is organized as project or compiler if
simply mainfile.cpp #include "file.cpp")
-lfile, or -llibfile or -libfile or -lfile.a or -llibfile.a, but depending on what
I use I get or it does not find it or undefined references. It happens the same if
I leave libfile in the same directory than the rest of the project (one single
more file, mainfile.cpp).

What's my error? I mistake binutil? (ar -s = ranlib)

P.S. - In my computer (windows 2000, Intel III x86 6.5.5), when I type in the
command line ar -pv file it starts beeping continuosly, the command line does not
respond anymore and that continues after it has printed all. I had to restart the
computer. (I didn't proved without v[verbose], but surely it would do the same).
