[Dev-C++] creating library *.a files with Dev C++

[Coosa <co...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I have the following problem:

I'm working with Dev C++ 4.9.8.5 and suppose i have the following =
scenario:
A project consistes of the following files:
  1.. project.dev=20
  2.. main.cpp=20
  3.. FileA.cpp=20
  4.. FileA.h
After compilation i get also:
  1.. main.o=20
  2.. FileA.o
Now later i can also delete the FileA.cpp and insted use the object file =
and just include the FileA.h to the project.
Theat's all fine.

But when i want to use the same file with a normal source file (not a =
project) i can't simply use the functions i created in the FileA.cpp and =
just include the FileA.h though i copied the FileA.o to the default =
library directory and the FileA.h to the default include Directory.

I heard later that i must create a FileA.a from the FileA.o, but i have =
no idea how to do this!
Can some please one help me on that?
