Linking static library with -l flag

Question

How can I have my makefile compile with the -l flag?

I have a makefile that looks like

myLibrary:
    gcc -c myLibrary.c -o myLibrary.o
    ar cr lib         


        

Answer 1

To link purely statically library, use -static, Like

gcc -static main.c libmyLibrary.a

And run executable file ./a.out GCC Linux.
